Orthopaedics

Our orthopaedic surgeons examine and treat complaints of the musculoskeletal system: knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, feet and ankles. It may concern wear and tear, a sports injury, tendon problems or a joint that keeps giving way.

Our approach

Our orthopaedic surgeons do not only look at the complaint, but above all at what you want to be able to do again in daily life. Based on examination and imaging we decide together which treatment fits best.

Wherever possible we choose a conservative or minimally invasive treatment. If surgery is needed, we use modern techniques aimed at careful recovery and preserving function. Our physiotherapists guide you through the rehabilitation.

What we treat

Non-surgical treatment

Ultrasound-guided injections

The specialist uses ultrasound to place the injection precisely where it is needed, for various joint and tendon complaints.

Conservative programme

Load advice and exercise therapy with our physiotherapists, often the first and best step.

Shoulder

Rotator cuff repair

A tear in one or more tendons around the shoulder can cause pain and weakness. If surgery is indicated, the tendon can be repaired.

Frozen shoulder

A painful, stiff shoulder that can last for months. We guide you through each phase with injections and exercises.

Knee

Knee arthroscopy

Keyhole surgery in which the surgeon examines the knee through small openings and, where needed, treats it straight away.

Meniscus repair

Certain meniscus tears can be stitched rather than removed, preserving as much of the knee's function as possible.

Total knee replacement

In advanced wear the whole knee joint can be replaced. The aim is less pain and better mobility.
