The knee and shoulder joints are extremely complex and loaded parts of the musculoskeletal system, their injury or degenerative changes can seriously impair the quality of life. With my specialized expertise, I apply the most modern diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to treat problems of these joints. My main areas of expertise are minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques and complex joint prosthesis implantations, with particular attention to robot-assisted surgery.
Shoulder Surgery – For Upper Limb Mobility
Cruciate ligament replacement
A tear in the anterior or posterior cruciate ligament can cause significant instability and loss of function in the knee. I use arthroscopic procedures, using the latest techniques, to repair the damaged ligament, which is crucial for regaining knee stability and achieving full range of motion, especially in athletes.
During the procedure, I often use an autograft taken from the patient's own tendon (e.g. hamstring, patellar tendon) or an allograft (donor tendon), combined with the most appropriate fixation techniques for a lasting result.
My goal is to restore knee stability while minimizing the risk of long-term complications, such as premature joint wear.
Implantation of knee prostheses
In the case of advanced knee joint wear (arthrosis), when conservative treatments are no longer sufficient, replacing the damaged joint with an artificial prosthesis can be a permanent solution.
In this area, I particularly use robot-assisted surgical techniques and Prophecy, which you can learn more about on the " Robot-assisted surgery " subpage.
Before implanting the prosthesis, I perform thorough preoperative planning, taking into account your anatomical characteristics and lifestyle. From a wide range of modern implants, I always select the most suitable one for you, whether it is a partial (unicondylar) or complete (total) knee prosthesis, to ensure pain-free movement and long-term function.
Treatment of meniscus injuries
Injuries to the cartilage rings (meniscus) in the knee joint are common and can cause pain, clicking, and limited mobility. During my arthroscopic procedures, I perform sutures or partial removal (resection) of the meniscus, depending on the type and extent of the injury, in order to preserve the long-term health and function of the knee joint.
If possible, I prefer to suture the meniscus to ensure complete healing and preserve the knee's natural shock-absorbing function, avoiding cartilage wear. The decision depends on the location of the injury and blood supply.
