Following family tradition, I started my secondary education in Szeged at a technical secondary school. Here, I was able to successfully use and develop my manual skills. In the meantime, my interests broadened and I started to be interested in the functioning of the human body, which led me to obtain a general medical degree from the University of Szeged in 2004.
My chosen specialisation, orthopaedics and traumatology, combines the technical and medical worlds, which optimally covers my interests. For me, it is the perfect profession, which has become both my vocation and my hobby.
I successfully applied the basics I learned in my hometown during my 12 years of work in Germany, where, in addition to treating accident victims, I further specialised in prosthetics of the large joints of the lower extremity (hip and knee). I am used to working with precision using modern equipment. I have five years of experience in the basics of robotic surgery and navigation techniques. I qualified as a specialist in Germany (Karlsruhe) and then worked as a senior physician in the Black Forest in Freudenstadt.
In 2022, I moved back home with my family and again worked at the Traumatology Clinic of the University of Szeged, where I gained further experience in the treatment of ligamentous injuries of the knee.
After the diagnostics are done, the findings are discussed in detail with the patient. I aim to make sure that the patient is aware of exactly what the problem is. After this information has been provided, a treatment plan is drawn up together.
I perform hip replacement using the so-called trouser pocket approach, which is minimally invasive, ensures a small incision and has the great advantage of sparing the incision of the gluteus maximus during the operation.
In addition to primary prosthesis implantation for joint wear, prosthesis implantation may also be necessary after hip fractures. In some cases, replacement of a previously implanted prosthesis may also be necessary. The latter is called revision surgery.
In the world of modern technology, computer-aided planning is now an essential part of the preparation for prosthetic surgery. I have been using this routinely for many years in prosthesis implantations. Good planning alone is not enough. Precise execution is also necessary to achieve a perfect result. In addition to the manual skills I have acquired over the years, I also use the latest technology, robot-guided surgery.
In the vast majority of cases of cartilage damage to the knee joint, total knee replacement is necessary. Still, in selected cases (e.g. asymmetric wear), sled implantation or axis correction surgery may be considered, thus avoiding or delaying the need for a prosthesis.
In the case of isolated cartilage damage, especially in young and active patients, cartilage grafting (so-called mosaicplasty) or cartilage implantation may be an option.
In the case of recurrent dislocation of the kneecap, kneecap stabilisation surgery is necessary. A typical knee injury in athletes is a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, and the resulting instability of the knee joint also needs to be stabilised (cruciate ligament reconstruction).
Injury, but also wear and tear, can lead to so-called meniscus damage, which is one of the most common causes of knee joint complaints. These lesions can be effectively treated by arthroscopy/arthroscopy (keyhole technique).
If articular cartilage deterioration has already started, but prosthesis implantation is not yet necessary, various joint cartilage protection injections (e.g. hyaluronic acid) can reduce the symptoms.
