VERIFIED — SURVIVES (Tier 2). Existence confirmed across independent sources beyond own site: Doctolib, arzt-auskunft.de, sanego.de, meinestadt.de, orthopaedie-pullach.de, and the Orthopädie Zentrum Isartal group listing. Both Köhne (director since 2013) and Scharpf confirmed current; sanego independently lists them together in the group practice. Contact independently confirmed against the clinic contact page (email + phone match; address Kastanienallee 9, 82049 Großhesselohe/Munich). NOT Tier 1: no membership in a limb-reconstruction authority body (LLRS/ASAMI) found, and no clinic accreditation. Private cosmetic-capable practice — no red flags (named, credentialed surgeon; real address; group-practice history). No published price found (not invented). Numeric review scores left blank rather than guessed. 'Stryde' references on site are legacy (device recalled ~2021); current method is PRECICE. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (batch-2 deepen/gap); codex web-search cross-checked.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
