PD Dr. med. Axel Greiner

Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Axel Greiner is an experienced specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery and a member of the management team at spectrum MED in the centre of Munich. His particular areas of medical expertise include minimally invasive hip replacement, the treatment of joint disorders and specialised trauma surgery. He also devotes particular attention to patients with coccygodynia and persistent coccyx pain, for whom a thorough investigation of the underlying causes forms the basis for targeted treatment.

Priv.-Doz. Dr. Greiner possesses particular expertise in the field of hip surgery and joint replacement. Particularly in cases of advanced hip joint disease, his focus is on providing each patient with a treatment plan tailored to their individual needs. When joint replacement becomes necessary, modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques are employed. His many years’ experience in orthopaedics and trauma surgery enable him to assess and treat both degenerative joint diseases and complex injuries of the musculoskeletal system with a nuanced approach.

Another area of specialisation is the treatment of coccygodynia, i.e. chronic or recurrent pain in the coccyx. These symptoms can lead to significant limitations in everyday life, particularly when sitting, and may have various causes. It is therefore crucial to carry out a precise diagnosis before determining the appropriate treatment. At spectrum MED, a range of conservative and interventional treatment methods are available alongside orthopaedic diagnostics. The aim is to pinpoint the cause of the coccyx pain as accurately as possible and to tailor the treatment individually to the specific symptoms.

Priv.-Doz. Dr. Greiner combines his extensive clinical experience with a strong scientific background. Following his qualification as a specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery, he obtained the additional qualification in specialised trauma surgery and completed his habilitation in 2021 at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in the field of orthopaedics and trauma surgery. For many years, he worked at the LMU Medical Centre in Munich, in roles including consultant, head of department and senior consultant. This combination of academic medicine, surgical experience and modern orthopaedic treatment makes him a highly competent specialist for patients with hip conditions, joint problems, trauma-related injuries, as well as coccygodynia and tailbone pain.
