I'm Dr. Michael Sostheim , a consultant hip and knee surgeon with a passion for patient-centered care.
My commitment to orthopedic excellence began with a doctoral thesis at UCSF in San Francisco, surgical training in South Africa and was perfected at OCM Munich, where I trained directly under Professor Heinz Röttinger and Robert Hube. Learning the "Röttinger Approach" at its source allowed me to master the art of tissue-sparing surgery—an essential tool in my mission to make recovery as gentle and fast as possible for my patients.
Recognized as a Top Physician by the German Focus Magazine and serving as a Senior Lead Surgeon (EndoCert), I combine elite clinical standards with a deeply personal approach. Whether performing a primary joint replacement or a complex revision, my priority remains the same: providing world-class surgical outcomes tailored to the individual needs and well-being of every patient I treat.
"Surgery is more than technical precision; it is about restoring a person's quality of life."
