He is an active member of the German Society of Sports Medicine and Prevention (DGSP) and the Committee of Children's Sports Orthopedics of the German-Austrian-Swiss Society for Orthopaedic-Traumatological Sports Medicine (GOTS).
Furthermore, Priv.-Doz.

He will report on the aetiologies, diagnostics as well as treatment, rehabilitation and prevention options for these complaints, which are already relatively common in adolescence, with a particular focus on young competitive athletes.
The lecture will be given in English and is open to the general public. The presentation will last approximately 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. We hope to see you there! |
