Since 2009, the method of "bionic reconstruction" developed by Oskar Aszmann at MedUni Vienna has facilitated the use of innovative technical aids for many of these accident victims, e.g. a bionic hand prosthesis. In the new science book entitled "Bionic Reconstruction" produced jointly by MedUni Vienna and MANZ-Verlag, Aszmann and co-author Laura Hruby outline, with reference to real cases, what options are available following traumatic injuries.

Medical services of the Medical University of Vienna

MedUni Vienna and AKH Wien (Vienna General Hospital) are closely related to one another.
