Our research is focused on clinical outcome studies, biomechanical investigations and basic research. It is centrally coordinated by a consultant surgeon managing the research activity and evaluated twice a year in a departmental steering committee. In addition to a close cooperation with various departments at the Klinikum rechts der Isar (e.g. the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Department of Neurosurgery), we regularly cooperate in an international network of large research institutions. Numerous projects are funded by the German Research Foundation. Prizes for our projects are regularly awarded by different orthopaedic societies (e.g. AGA, ESSKA).

Medical students particularly interested in sports orthopaedics can spend parts of their practical year (final year) rotation “Orthopaedics” at our department as a part of an orthopaedic rotation programme.
During the practical year rotation “Orthopaedics” you will rotate between three different departments: “Orthopaedics” (Klinikum rechts der Isar), “Sports Orthopaedics” (Klinikum rechts der Isar), “Paediatric Orthopaedics” (Klinikum Schwabing).
The overall organisation of your practical year rotation programme will be coordinated by the “Orthopaedics” department. Nonetheless you can apply directly to our chief secretary by mail or email (sportortho@mri.tum.de). Please provide a cover letter and a motivation letter along with your CV.
For medical students from other medical faculties in Germany and abroad, the regulations of “PJ mobility” apply and must be agreed on with both your respective universities and the Medical Dean’s Office of the TUM. Further information can be found at www.meditum.de.

The seminar for doctoral candidates, PhD students and students in their practical year is held every two weeks. This seminar offers a platform to doctoral candidates to present the current status of their projects.

The director of the Department of Sports Orthopaedics, Prof. Dr. med. S. Siebenlist, holds an authorisation to provide three-years of medical specialty training in orthopaedics and traumatology (2 years of orthopaedics and traumatology and 1 year of “common trunk”). Assistant doctors in our department rotate between ward and outpatient department with regular days in the operating theatre.
