We actively engage with academic and clinical researches to stay up to date with the newest developments and techniques. Our main interests are total and partial knee replacements, patellofemoralpathology, and ligament reconstructions.
We use the newest technology including robotic surgery, computer assisted surgery, patient specific instrumentation as well as conventional techniques.
