My Approach

As a specialist in orthopaedics and traumatology, Dr. Schanda focuses on the treatment of the entire musculoskeletal system. In his practice, Dr. Schanda takes ample time for personal consultation, thorough examination and the necessary imaging. A personalised therapy and aftercare plan is tailored to your complaints and needs.

Most orthopaedic and traumatological complaints can be successfully treated through conservative therapy (without surgery). For this purpose, Dr. Schanda offers modern and comprehensive treatment options in his practice. Should surgery be necessary, it can be performed at the AUVA Trauma Centre Vienna, Meidling site, or at one of Vienna’s renowned private hospitals.

Dr. Schanda’s clinical work has been accompanied by regular stays and observerships at renowned national and international hospitals. Through his scientific work at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Traumatology and the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration, he has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and regularly presents at national and international congresses. As an IOC-certified sports physician, Dr. Schanda serves as team doctor for the Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV) and the Austrian Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (ÖWWV), and is dedicated to the care, therapy and rehabilitation of recreational and elite athletes.
