"Musculoskeletal problems reduce quality of life more than most other conditions and often have no easy solutions. Getting the patient out of their problems and back to what they used to do is the biggest challenge for me."
My specialisation | Orthopaedic specialist Vienna 1190
Having worked in several university hospitals, I am one of the few experts dedicated to the entire spectrum of orthopedics and traumatology.
My domains include:
- Solving problems of all major joints - shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle (joint reconstruction, artificial joints, arthroscopy, cartilage replacement, joint loosening, etc.),
- surgical treatment of diseases of the spine (cervical, lumbar) and pelvis,
- Correction of axis deviations and limb truncations,
- Foot and hand surgery,
- Muscle - and tendon transmissions.
The specialty for me is the elbow joint with all its diseases and post-traumatic conditions.

Why I came to Vienna
Moving from the Czech Republic to Vienna was a conscious decision for me that was driven by various motivations. On the one hand, I wanted to further improve my qualifications and take on new professional challenges. Vienna not only offers a rich medical environment, but also the opportunity to apply my experience in a different healthcare system and expand my knowledge in new ways. The variety of patients and clinical pictures in Vienna is a fascinating change and allows me to contribute my many years of experience in the treatment of various diseases. I also appreciate the opportunity to use my foreign language skills in a multicultural environment and thus communicate even more closely with my patients and understand them better. All in all, the move to Vienna was a step that not only opened up professional development opportunities for me, but was also very enriching on a personal level.
The concept of the surgery focuses on complex diagnostics and subsequent surgical treatment of the patient's illness. Our goal is to provide professional patient care based on the latest medical science.
About me - Your orthopaedic surgeon in Vienna
Having attended many international congresses over the past 25 years, I keep up with the rapid development of orthopedics. I have succeeded in integrating both proven procedures and news from French-speaking, English-speaking and German-speaking orthopedic schools into my daily practice. Together with a quarter of a century of scientific research, this also enables me to incorporate the latest findings into my work.
What my patients say about me
I fell out of a tree years ago and was in a coma for several weeks. I am right-handed and my right elbow was completely fused at a right angle at the time. When I was discharged from hospital, I realized that I could no longer do everyday things like eat or wash. In my search for help, I came across Prof. Hart, who was the only one who dared to perform a demanding operation. With the help of a fixator, I managed to restore my joint using an external fixator. Today I can do all the normal things like other healthy people without much pain and, above all, I can look after myself.
For many years I had pain due to a curved and worn spine and they didn't want to operate on me anywhere. I keep a lot of parrots and could no longer look after them. The doctor at the clinic in Prague advised me to try my luck with Professor Hart. He almost straightened my spine and screwed it together from the shoulder blades to the sacrum. My pain has eased considerably and thanks to Professor Hart I can continue to keep my parrots.
My orthopaedic surgeon sent me to Professor Hart and said that if he didn't help me, nobody would. When I was young, I played a lot of soccer and often injured my ankle. When I turned forty, my ankle started to hurt and gradually became deformed. I wanted to stay active and not have my ankle stiff. Professor Hart made me an artificial joint and I have enjoyed a pain-free life for many years. I have climbed Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu without any problems...
For a long time I had neck pain that shot up into my left hand. My family doctor found signs of wear and tear on three cervical discs with two herniations. I consulted two neurosurgeons who offered to stiffen my spine. But I wanted to keep moving my neck. Professor Hart offered me an early appointment for an operation in which he replaced the worn discs with artificial ones so that I can continue to move my neck as before and the pain in my hand has gradually disappeared. Professor Hart's approach is very professional and I can highly recommend treatment with him.
