Dr Alexander Rauch is a specialist in sports injuries and complex knee joint surgery. He specialises in the minimally invasive repair of sports injuries such as meniscus tears, cartilage damage or cruciate ligament tears using arthroscopic surgery (knee joint endoscopy) and joint-preserving procedures such as axis corrections (realignment operations).

Dr Rauch has been awarded the knee surgeon certificate by the German Knee Society and is head of the Official Knee Centre of the German Knee Society at the ECOM – Practice for Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine & Trauma Surgery and the ATOS Clinic in Munich. The sports orthopaedics, osteotomy and endoprosthetics sections are jointly covered by the specialists at ECOM to the highest quality.

As Head Physician for Sports Traumatology and Knee Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Munich and the ATOS Starmed Clinic, he can perform surgical procedures at two renowned locations.

Thanks to his high level of specialisation, particularly gentle operations are possible for patients, such as cruciate ligament replacement using the all-inside technique, which is the least invasive of the minimally invasive procedures and causes the fewest concomitant soft tissue and bone injuries. Regenerative procedures such as cartilage (cell) transplants can also usually be performed using the minimally invasive technique. For complex axis corrections (repositioning operations or osteotomies), the latest patient-specific 3D templates can be used to further optimise precision and therefore the result.

His expertise in this area is also underlined by multiple publications in prestigious specialist journals such as “Die Orthopädie”. He is a founding member of the Knee Expert Group (Knee Guild), an association of knee surgeons from German-speaking countries who regularly discuss and further develop new surgical techniques.
