"The sport, in and of itself, brings a certain level of risk...But I am happy for the amazing support I've had so far"
The 21-year-old Gilles Müller from the canton of Lucerne is celebrated in the Swiss show jumping scene as one of the most promising young talents. Despite his six appearances at European Championships and his passionate dedication to equestrian sports, participation in the 2022 European Championships in Oliva Nova, Spain, seemed distant. The mishap occurred just three weeks before the tournament when he broke his collarbone in a training accident. However, thanks to a Medartis implant, he was soon back in the saddle! The clavicle fractures were treated with Medartis APTUS Clavicle System 2.8. Dr. Sören Waldmann (Rennbahn Clinic) completed the surgery.
