Life

Axel Prokop studied medicine at the comprehensive university in Essen from 1983 to 1989 . This was followed by a doctorate at the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University of Cologne on the subject of gender dimorphism of the corpus callosum? Morphometric examination based on dissection material and magnetic resonance tomograms in Cologne in 1989. He then worked as a research assistant in surgery at the University of Cologne and, from July 1994, in trauma surgery. From 1996 he was senior physician there and from 2004 senior senior physician. In one from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research(BMFT) funded experimental comparative study, Prokop examined new bioresorbable materials for the fixation of osteochondral fractures and completed his habilitation in 2000 in the field of surgery and trauma surgery on the subject of polylactide and tricalcium phosphate. Improvement of biodegradable implants in combination.

In 2005 Prokop was offered a professorship at a university of applied sciences in the field of accident and social medicine in Sankt Augustin . In 2006 he was appointed associate professor at the Cologne University Hospital. In 2007 he became chief physician for trauma surgery in the south-west clinic group at the academic teaching hospital of the Sindelfingen - Böblingen clinics and in July 2007 he received his qualification at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. He is a specialist in surgery, trauma surgery and orthopedics and has additional qualifications in special trauma surgery, surgical intensive medicine and the specialist knowledge of rescue medicine, sports medicine and medical quality management. 2019 Winning the German Patient Award for the 'Voluntary Patient Companion' project

Scientific contribution

The initial scientific work of Prokop concentrated on the further development and clinical use of new self-dissolving implants for the fixation of small bone fragments, which have been brought to clinical use and whose function has been proven in studies.

A special focus of the clinical work was on interdisciplinary treatment in geriatric traumatology. The Trauma Surgery Clinic Sindelfingen was the first clinic in Baden-Württemberg and the second in Germany to be certified as a center for geriatric traumatology by TÜV in 2009 and by the German Society for Trauma Surgery in 2014. By optimizing and checking the processes, the treatment results were significantly improved and were a role model for other hospitals nationwide.
