Prof. Dr. Rüdiger von Eisenhart-Rothe is a full Professor and Chair of Orthopedics at the Technische Universität München (TUM), leading the Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics at the Klinikum rechts der Isar. His research focuses on regenerative medicine, osteo-oncology, endoprosthetics, and the application of machine learning in surgical planning. He completed his medical studies at LMU Munich and business administration at the University of Hagen, followed by a habilitation in orthopedics at Frankfurt’s Friedrichsheim Hospital. Notably, he received the Perthes Prize twice (2003, 2010) for contributions to shoulder and elbow surgery.

His work integrates advanced imaging techniques, virtual planning, and biomaterial research to address challenges in joint replacement, infection control, and sarcoma management. Recent projects emphasize AI-driven diagnostic tools and personalized surgical approaches. Prof. von Eisenhart-Rothe collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to advance clinical outcomes in orthopedic surgery, particularly in knee and hip arthroplasty.

Awarded the Perthes Prize twice, his contributions span academic leadership, clinical innovation, and translational research at TUM’s School of Medicine and Health. Current initiatives include optimizing prosthetic alignment via 3D modeling and evaluating synovial biomarkers for infection diagnosis.
