At the center of orthopedic and sports traumatology surgery is the surgical treatment of the hip, knee and ankle as well as tendon and muscle injuries. All sports-orthopedic and sports traumatology issues, such as the assessment of fitness for sports, especially after injuries of the entire musculoskeletal system, or after a joint replacement, are supervised by Prof. Schmitt. In general, all sports-orthopedic problems, including children and adolescents are treated in practice. Naturally, the majority of patients come from the field of competitive and recreational sports.
