He completed his studies in medicine at the University of Innsbruck where his particular interest in sports medicine and knee surgery had already become apparent.

In 1998, Fink obtained his specialist doctor qualifications in trauma surgery and sports traumatology. Following a two-year research fellowship at Duke University in the United States, he joined the faculty of the University of Innsbruck as a professor with his PhD thesis titled “Pathology of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and the Menisci of the Knee Joint - Clinical and Experimental Studies.” Prof. Fink trained at the University Hospital in Innsbruck and from 2004 to 2007 he was chief of the Sports Trauma and Knee Surgery unit there. After leaving the university in 2007 he established a private orthopedic specialty clinic. The knee joint has remained the focus of his clinical and scientific activities.
