Publications and Presentations

The main interest of my scientific work is focused on cementless hip implants. In clinical research I am mainly concerned with the durability of the artificial hip endoprothesis. 

I published the results of this research in some of the most renowned journals worldwide.

Additionally I present my up-to-date scientific findings in national and international meetings.
