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.

Personal attention · modern techniques · specialist aftercare

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.

Frequently asked questions

About orthopaedics

Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, even if you do not have a referral yet.

Yes. For insured orthopaedics you need a referral from your GP, company doctor or another specialist. As soon as it reaches us through the referral system, we call you within 24 hours to plan your first appointment.
No. For many complaints surgery is not needed or not the first step. We first look at whether physiotherapy, an injection or adjusted load helps.
That differs per procedure and per person. After keyhole surgery you are usually back on your feet within weeks; after a joint replacement full recovery takes months.
For many procedures you can. You hear beforehand whether that applies to you, and you always need someone to take you home.
