Orthopedics

Orthopedics is the branch of surgery that deals with conditions affecting the joints, rheumatic pain, and degenerative disease. Our surgeons treat orthopedic problems, sports injuries, injuries at work, and congenital disorders. Patient care is our top priority, and we meet your specific needs by applying integrated non-surgical, surgical, as well as Rehabilitation Treatment , which are a must for optimal recovery. Once a diagnosis is made, your surgeon will decide on the most effective treatment in consultation with you and the multi-disciplinary team. Non-surgical approaches include physiotherapy, injections (of cortisone or hyaluronic acid), and medication. Surgical interventions involve the very latest techniques, such as arthroscopy, and optimized pain management.
