1) Your treatment is carried out by a team of subspecialized orthopedic surgeons using scientifically proven methods.
Medical evidence shows that, experience and surgical volume have a positive effect on the results of surgery. We perform about 2.000 orthopedic surgeries a year, this is one of the key factors in achieving excellent results.
2) Your treatment is planned and performed by an experienced team of surgeons and medical specialists.
All of our patients are evaluated before and after surgery in the bi-weekly staff meeting of 20 medical specialists that are directly involved in your treatment. This meeting brings together orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists, physical therapy specialists and physiotherapists.
3) State of the art imaging is used to diagnose your condition & plan surgery.
Imaging begins with high quality X-rays. These X-rays are stored digitally and cannot be lost or damaged. Advanced disease specific computed tomography & magnetic resonance imaging protocols are used to diagnose your condition.
4) Operating theaters and surgical equipment are designed and optimized for orthopedic surgery.
Advanced imaging and surgical instruments for arthroscopic surgery of the hip, knee, shoulder and ankle; 360 degree rotating radiolucent tables for spine surgery, advanced floroscopic imaging systems, operating microscopes, full range of trauma and arthroplasty implants and sets are available on site.
5) Quality (not cost) is our priority when choosing implants and disposable materials used for your surgery.
Only the highest quality implants are used for knee, hip, ankle, shoulder arthroplasties and plate-screw systems & intramedullary nails for trauma surgery. We only use implants that have a proven track record for efficacy and durability in the literature and implant registries.
6) Due to the efficient organization of the team and hospital your treatment continues uninterrupted for 7 days a week.
The waiting period for elective (planned) surgeries is less than 1 week. You can easily contact your surgeon for questions and emergencies. In the unlikely event that you cannot reach your surgeon, the rest of the team is available to help you with your problem.
7) Pain management and patient satisfaction is very important for us.
We use local injection techniques and nerve blocks to eliminate early acute pain. This is followed by patient controlled pain pumps that deliver pain killers as needed. Effective pain management permits early rehabilitation, earlier discharge from hospital and return to activities or sports.
8) We take continuous medical training very seriously.
In addition to a busy surgical practice, our doctors make every effort to follow recent developments in their respective fields. We routinely attend the annual national orthopedic congresses and subspecialty international congresses (usually as speakers or instructors) organize courses and symposia and are proud to contribute to the training of our colleagues.
9) We are well equipped and organized to treat international patients.
Our group employs an “International Patients Coordinator” that organizes the airport transfer, accommodation and hospitalization and billing procedures of international patients. All doctors are fluent in English and some French and German is also spoken.
