Prof. Dr. Heinz Röttinger has been working in the field of orthopaedics since more than four decades. He is a specialist in the development and optimization of artificial hip and knee prostheses. His innovative techniques minimize post-operative pain and significantly speed up the healing process. A key component of his patented method is a minimally invasive approach to implanting hip prostheses that protects the tissue and enables faster rehabilitation. More than 20 years ago, his ideas spurred a revolutionary trend toward “minimally invasive surgical techniques” in hip arthroplasty.

Over the years, Prof. Dr. Heinz Röttinger has treated more than 15,000 patients using the surgical techniques he developed. The “Röttinger approach” is particularly valuable in the development of hip arthroplasty and allows both primary operations, i.e. the initial implantation of an artificial hip, and complex revision operations to be performed equally sparingly and to the benefit of the patient.

“Through my work, I want to help patients achieve greater mobility and a more active life, reliably and with the fastest possible recovery,” explains Prof. Röttinger. He also promotes the exchange of knowledge among colleagues worldwide through numerous publications and lectures at international congresses. He is a sought-after speaker and discussion partner. His innovative treatment methods and scientific contributions to discussions have significantly contributed to improving hip and knee arthroplasty surgery outcomes worldwide.
