Siebold, Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Rainer

Specialist for orthopaedics, sports medicine, chirotherapy

The medical objective of our practice at the ATOS Clinic is the specialisation in the treatment of  injuries and diseases of the hip, knee and foot in adults and children. This also includes therapy of sports injuries of leisure and competitive athletes, sequelae of injuries, and arthrosis.

By focussing on our specialist area, we can offer an especially high degree of professional knowledge and treatment.
Over 17,000 inpatient surgical interventions at the knee and the foot, among them 4,500 cruciate ligament surgeries and 2,200 endoprostheses, demonstrate the most comprehensive surgical experience guaranteeing the highest degree of precision and patient satisfaction.

By means of constant analysis and control of our results and continuing scientific exchange of information, the most advanced surgery techniques and short inpatient stays are guaranteed.
Precise follow-up treatment plans and experienced physiotherapists maintain the positive surgical outcome.

The current FOCUS List of Physicians* recommends Associate Professor Dr. med. Rainer Siebold as a qualified knee specialist.
