Professor Baumgart, MD
Limb Lengthening Center Munich

The ZEM-Germany was founded in 2006 by Professor Baumgart after 20 years of work at the Surgical University Hospital in Munich and is still managed by him today. As the only center in Germany, ZEM-Germany exclusively treats shortenings and deformities of the arms and legs, thus providing years of expertise in this field.
