- [Minimally invasive cotton osteotomy : Surgical technique and functional outcomes]. [Review]
- The primary objective of the minimally invasive Cotton osteotomy is to correct sagittal malalignment of the medial column by targeted plantarflexion, thereby restoring alignment and contributing to the reconstruction of complex pes planovalgus deformities within a joint-preserving surgical approach.

- [Revision surgery for inlay, neck and head failure of hip endoprostheses with fixed metal components]. [Journal Article]
- The aim of this technique is to minimize the extent of revision surgery in cases of inlay and/or head failure and fixed metal components of hip endoprostheses by replacing only the modular components, while still effectively solving the problem. In some cases, it may be justified to insert a nonprosthetic polyethylene inlay or a smaller polyethylene cup cemented into the fixed metal cup.

- [Patellar fractures : Overview of surgical treatment concepts]. [Review]
- The goal is to anatomically reconstruct the patellar joint surface in order to restore the function of the extensor apparatus. This forms the basis for a stable knee function and physiological gait. Furthermore, it prevents retropatellar arthritis. Early functional mobilization can prevent joint stiffness, muscle atrophy and subsequent complications.

- The small distractor-a useful tool for the trauma surgeon. [Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: The advantages of the small distractor include quick and versatile placement, reduced soft tissue damage, shorter operation times, decreased radiation exposure, fewer wound healing complications, and faster recovery for patients. Despite requiring specialized instruments and carrying some risks, such as malalignment from unrecognized forces, the benefits far outweigh these drawbacks.
