The Sportklinik Stuttgart is an orthopedic specialist clinic with a nationwide focus. Due to the regional proximity to the Olympic base at Stuttgart and the wide-ranging medical support of various sports clubs and major sporting events by the clinic, one of the main areas of activity is the treatment of sports-related injuries, particularly by arthroscopic procedures. Treatment options range from conservative, arthroscopic and open procedures, to arthroplasty. As part of a high degree of specialization, the treatment of the patients takes place in different departments according to the area of injury. The department of shoulder-and elbow-surgery is headed by PD Dr. Mauch and three senior physicians. Around 1700 interventions are carried out each year, ranging from common to complex reconstructive procedures, especially by arthroscopic interventions. Another focus is the alloplastic joint replacement. Outpatient Clinics run on a daily base. A high value is placed on the best and optimal treatment of patients according to the latest scientific findings. Therefore the Sportklinik Stuttgart is already a designated teaching center for members of the DVSE, GOTS and AGA. Additionally, apart from teaching specialty trainees, university students are regularly trained in house as well. A special feature of the Sportklinik Stuttgart is the close link between imaging diagnostics and surgical treatment. PD Dr Mauch is one of a few orthopedic surgeons who also has a special expertise in the field of sectional imaging procedures and is a certified trainer for magnetic resonance imaging of the professional association of orthopedics and trauma surgery (BVOU). In this context, regular training courses in MRI and CT findings are carried out in the Sportklinik, and courses on arthroscopy and MRI take place in the cadaver lab. • Memberships and activities PD Dr. Frieder Mauch Memberships • CEO of the German society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (DVSE) • CEO of the Society for Orthopaedic Traumatologic Sports Medicine (GOTS) • Member of le Société Européenne pour la Chirurgie de l'Epaule et du Coude (SECEC) • Member of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and the Elbow (ESSSE) • Member of the German Society for Arthroplasty (AE) • Member of the German Society for Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (DGOOC) • CEO of the department sectional imaging procedures within DGOOC / DGU • Member of the Society for Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (AGA) • Member of the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention (DGSP) • Member of the Association of South German Orthopedists and Trauma Surgeons (DVSOU) • Member of the Professional association for orthopedics and trauma surgery (BVOU) • Member of AO Trauma Europe Activities • lecturer at the University of Ulm • Congress President DVSE 2017 • team doctor of the basketball team MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg • team doctor of the handball team TVB 1989 Stuttgart • ATP doctor of the international tennis tournament (MercedesCup) in Stuttgart • certified trainer for magnetic resonance imaging of the professional association of orthopedics and trauma surgery (BVOU) • Instructor of the Society for Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (AGA
