Scientific Research undertakenResearch Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Kantonsspital Bruderholz The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology at Kantonsspital Bruderholz, in Basel, Switzerland is recognized worldwide for its many orthopaedic contributions. In particular, it is known for having positively impacted the field of sports medicine and furthered the understanding of knee function. The Orthopaedic Department is affiliated to the University of Basel. An active research department ensures that we can offer newest and well investigated treatment options to our patients. In addition, latest developments of implants, techniques and surgical procedures are critically analysed. Today, orthopaedic registrars can participate in a number of studies into orthobiologics, cartilage repair, orthopaedic imaging, hydrogel technology and more. The research focuses on the knee joint, in particular new imaging in orthopaedics, orthobiologics, ACL, PCL, multi-ligament injuries and the painful arthroplasty. We currently hold research grants from several national and international grant authorities. We have collaborations with many other institutes in Switzerland and abroad. Team: Michael T.
