Maximilian Willauschus

Maximilian Willauschus serves as a Physician Scientist at the Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery department of Klinikum Nürnberg, a university-affiliated medical center. With 22 publications spanning from 2019 to 2025, his research primarily focuses on orthopaedic biomechanics and clinical outcomes.

His research interests span multiple specialized areas in orthopaedics including joint arthrodesis techniques, proximal interphalangeal joint mechanics, and trauma surgery innovations. His work combines in vitro testing with clinical applications to address complex orthopaedic challenges, particularly focusing on patient-reported outcomes and biomechanical stability.

Dr. Willauschus's publication record shows a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated biomechanical analyses, with recent work examining micromotion in joint arthrodesis and complications in ligament reconstruction. His research bridges basic science with clinical applications, particularly in upper and lower extremity orthopaedics.

Scientific Recognition:

• Recipient of the Birckner Foundation Science Prize (2023)

Dr. Willauschus actively contributes to academic discourse through conference organization, having co-organized the 37th and 39th Nuremberg Arthroscopy Courses with Joint Symposiums in 2022 and 2024 respectively, demonstrating his commitment to advancing orthopaedic knowledge sharing. His press coverage includes the media contribution "Gekommen, um zu bleiben" (Come to Stay) from April 2024.
