Matthias Krause

Dr. Matthias Krause serves as an Associate Professor (Privatdozent) in the Clinic and Polyclinic for Trauma Surgery and Orthopaedics at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hamburg. With over 140 publications spanning from 2008 to 2025, his academic career demonstrates sustained scholarly activity and clinical expertise in orthopedic surgery.

Dr. Krause's research primarily focuses on complex knee injuries and surgical interventions, with particular emphasis on tibial plateau fractures, multiligament knee injuries, cartilage repair techniques, and osteotomy procedures. His work bridges clinical practice and biomechanical analysis, frequently employing advanced imaging techniques and computational modeling to optimize surgical approaches. Recent publications highlight his leadership in developing classification systems for tibial plateau fractures and evaluating comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques for posterolateral corner reconstruction.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory toward improving surgical precision through technological innovation (including 3D printing applications), understanding biomechanical factors affecting surgical outcomes, and developing evidence-based approaches to complex knee trauma. His work spans from fundamental biomechanical studies to large-scale clinical outcomes research, demonstrating both scientific rigor and clinical relevance.

Dr. Krause maintains an active collaborative network, frequently publishing with colleagues from the UKE orthopedic department including Frosch, K-H; Fahlbusch, H; Frings, J; and Akoto, R. His leadership in developing clinical guidelines, such as the S2e-guideline for knee dislocations, underscores his recognized expertise in the field. While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided materials, his extensive publication record suggests successful acquisition of research funding to support his clinical investigations.

His work significantly contributes to advancing orthopedic trauma care, particularly in the areas of knee surgery and fracture management, with practical applications that directly impact surgical decision-making and patient outcomes in clinical practice.
