Prof. Dr. med. Björn-Christian Link
CV
PD Dr. med. Björn-Christian Link, geboren 1976, wurde per 13. Oktober 2025 zum Titularprofessor für klinisch-medizinische Wissenschaften ernannt. Nach dem Medizinstudium und der Promotion 2006 an der Universität Bonn folgten klinische und wissenschaftliche Stationen in Deutschland (Hamburg, Marburg), der Schweiz (Bern, Nidwalden, Luzern, Zürich) und Australien (Adelaide). Die venia legendi erhielt er 2019 an der Universität Marburg für das Fach Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie. Seine Schwerpunkte liegen in der Becken- und Acetabulumchirurgie inklusive Hüftendoprothetik, der Alterstraumatologie sowie in digitalen und prozessorientierten Versorgungsinnovationen. Zudem engagiert er sich intensiv in der ärztlichen und interprofessionellen Weiterbildung als Instruktor bei ATLS, ASSET sowie AO Trauma und Recon. Björn-Christian Link ist seit 2022 Chefarzt und Klinikleiter der Klinik für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie am Luzerner Kantonsspital.
