Petra Eckerlin, MD, Specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery, Magdeburg, Germany

The PRO-IMPLANT Foundation Infection Consulting portal has been an excellent resource at our hospital for seeking a second opinion on complex cases. Whether the query is from a surgical or infectious disease perspective, the ability to obtain independent and reputable advice from world-leading clinicians is invaluable. The advice is thoughtful, structured, and patient-specific, guiding ongoing management in line with the approach taught in PRO-IMPLANT workshops.

Andrew Foster, MD, Orthopaedic Resident, PhD Student, Brisbane, Australia

The PRO-IMPLANT Foundation Infection Consulting portal gives our team the confidence needed to treat even complex cases of musculoskeletal infections. The fast, and above all, personal support via online consultation allows us to apply the PRO-IMPLANT diagnosis and therapy algorithm —clinically proven over many years— to each patient individually. On behalf of our patients: Many thanks to the entire PRO-IMPLANT team!

Bernd Preininger, MD, Specialist for orthopaedics and traumatology, Warmbad-Villach, Austria

The Infection Consulting portal is extremely helpful for presenting complex clinical cases in a structured layout to the experts in Prof. Trampuz’s group. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Infection cases are usually time-sensitive, and I received a detailed therapeutic strategy in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend Prof. Trampuz’s Infection Consulting portal to any clinician seeking support in the treatment of complex clinical cases involving infection.
