Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon, Complex Knee Injuries
Berlin, Germany
Sven U. Scheffler, MD, PhD is a board certified orthopedic and trauma surgeon with a special expertise in conservative and surgical treatment of the entire spectrum of complex knee and sports injuries.
The choice of his profession was not accidental. Avid athlete, Dr. Scheffler has himself competed at the international level and still actively cooperates with the Olympic Support Center in Berlin, a unique center for Sports Medicine and Sport Science. Dr. Scheffler treats and advises both amateur and professional athletes. Among his patients are Olympic champions, soccer players from leading European and German Premier League clubs, members of the national European teams in basketball, volleyball, handball, taekwondo, boxing, gymnastics, track and field and others. Dr. Scheffler is also well acquainted with all the latest postoperative rehabilitation practices following specially designed “Return to Play” program that allows athletes and active patients safely and most effectively return to their sports activities.
Dr. Scheffler completed medical school, orthopaedic residency and post-doctoral studies at the Charité University in Berlin in 2010. He was a head of the Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Service at the Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery, Charité University in Berlin. During the period from 1998 to 2010, Dr. Scheffler has participated in several scientific and clinical fellowships at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Harvard Medical School, and at The Steadman Hawkins Clinic. He was an ESSKA-APOSSM Asian traveling fellow in 2010.
Dr. Scheffler is a frequently invited guest at international conferences and training sessions, where he not only gives lectures, but also demonstrates the newest methods of orthopedic surgery through “live operations”.
Dr. Scheffler follows the motto “Specialization is the foundation of professionalism”, concentrating on his field and earning the recognition of the professional community: in 2016 FOCUS magazine put him on the list of the best knee surgeons in Germany. But what Dr. Scheffler values the most is the opinion of his patients, who, in 2015, chose him to be among the TOP 10 orthopaedic surgeons in Berlin.
Dr. Scheffler is a reviewer for 8 professional peer-review journals and has been on the Editorial Board of The American Journal of Sports Medicine since 2007. He has published more than 60 articles and book chapters on topics ranging from basic science and biomechanics to clinical diagnosis and outcomes. Dr. Scheffler´s main areas of research and clinical interest are reconstruction of primary and revision of ligamentous injuries, patellofemoral disorders and instability, reconstruction and transplantation of meniscus, surgical treatment of cartilage defects and cartilage transplantation, knee osteotomy – correction of knee alignment.
Dr. Scheffler´s scientific work has been recognized through several highest professional awards, such as Experimental Traumatology Award (German Society for Traumatology & Reconstructive Surgery), John Joyce Award (ISAKOS), Richard O´Conner Award (AANA), Best Presentation Award (German-speaking Society for Arthroscopy, AGA).
He is a member of several professional organizations, including ORS, AGA, ESSKA and DGOU.
Dr. Scheffler lives in Berlin, Germany with his wife and two children.
