The Bel Etage Clinic, with its committed experts, offers the most modern and effective therapy methods that go beyond the standard and thus guarantee optimal treatment.
The knee joint is the most heavily used in the body, making it all the more important to maintain the joint and its mobility. The experienced experts at Bel Etage Clinic are proficient in modern knee surgery, from minimally invasive methods such as cartilage cell transplantation to custom knee prostheses. International patients also choose Bel Etage Clinic for complex revision surgery due to its many years of experience. Only high-quality implants are used for this purpose.
Modern Medicine in a Stylish Atmosphere: The Bel Etage Private Clinic is Setting New Standards
The Bel Etage Private Clinic stands for innovation and the most modern treatment approaches, always focusing on the patient's wishes. The experienced orthopedic team takes much time for the patients as part of the therapy planning.
The knee specialists combine empathy and the highest medical expertise with a stylish ambiance and holistic treatment concepts. In addition, nutritional and micronutrient therapy supports the healing process positively. This ensures holistic and sustainable recovery, enabling those affected to regain full mobility.
Specialists in Knee Surgery in Düsseldorf
The knee is a complex joint used extensively daily to perform complicated and finely tuned sequences of movements. An injury to the knee joint can cause discomfort in various movement patterns, making even the most minor everyday activities extremely difficult. The knee can be particularly affected, especially in older age, with age-related, degenerative cartilage damage, as well as in the case of obesity and intensive sports and competitive sports.
Overexertion and injuries increase the risk of long-term degenerative damage. Therefore, quick and individual treatment is of great importance and is carried out professionally by the orthopedic specialists at the Düsseldorf clinic, which helps to avoid consequential damage.
First, the experienced team of doctors at the Bel Etage Clinic carries out a detailed clinical examination of the damaged knee, after which a final imaging evaluation can be carried out using instrumental measures such as MRI.
After determining the exact pattern of damage, a holistic treatment concept is planned for each patient, considering their individual capacities and wishes. In doing so, optimal care is ensured by using state-of-the-art and conservative therapy methods to regain mobility and quality of life as gently and sustainably as possible.
Joint-Sparing and Precise: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Cartilage and Ligament Injuries
In the worst case, uncoordinated and rapid knee joint movements can lead to ligament damage, accompanied by pain and loss of mobility. With precise surgical methods, the knee specialists at the Düsseldorf private clinic can repair the damage professionally and with great experience. In many cases, the minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical technique can be used, and even significant damage to the knee joint can be repaired through tiny incisions.
The advantage of arthroscopy is that the minimally invasive procedure is gentle on the tissue so that wound healing and regeneration of the wound area can take place much faster. Even with more extensive injuries, a faster recovery can be guaranteed. Especially athletes benefit from this, as they can quickly begin with rehabilitation.
Meniscus: Diagnosis and Treatment of Tears and Damage
Meniscus, the crescent-shaped cartilage in the knee joint, can be damaged by sports injuries or other external influences. Whether surgery is necessary after the injury is decided by an experienced team depending on the extent and type of damage incurred. Both conservative therapy and surgical intervention can be effective.
The procedure is usually minimally invasive if the patient decides on surgical therapy. Partial meniscus removal is a minimally invasive treatment method used for more minor tears or abrasions of the meniscus. It involves surgically trimming the uneven or frayed edges of the meniscus to reduce friction in the joint and stimulate healing. This method relieves pain and improves joint function without completely removing the meniscus. Often, partial meniscus removal is carried out arthroscopically, which allows a quick recovery. It is frequently used for degenerative changes or minor injuries.
Additionally, the Düsseldorf clinic offers advanced therapies such as chondrocyte therapy, a procedure used to regenerate damaged joint cartilage. This involves taking cartilage cells from the patient's body, multiplying them in the laboratory, and then implanting them into the damaged area of the joint. This procedure is often used to restore the function of the joint after cartilage damage is caused by injuries or arthrosis. The therapy aims to regenerate the cartilage, relieve pain in the long term, and improve joint function. The treatment usually requires several procedures and rehabilitation.
The team is highly skilled in the entire spectrum of knee surgery, using state-of-the-art surgical techniques.
Knee Prosthetics: Customized Solutions for a New Quality of Life
Degenerative damage to the knee joint can, over time, make a knee replacement necessary. Particularly in the case of severe pain and loss of mobility due to years of cartilage abrasion, there is sometimes no other option than to replace the joint. The treatment is customized for the individual, and a prosthesis is selected that is precisely adapted to the patient's anatomy.
This ensures the new joint fits perfectly and the prosthesis does not wear out quickly. This guarantees that the artificial joint will function sustainably and for a long time. This is particularly important for younger and more active people. Only high-quality and state-of-the-art implants are used at the Düsseldorf clinic for this purpose.
Sports Medicine Procedures: A Quick Way to Get Back to Peak Performance!
The Düsseldorf clinic offers a comprehensive range of sports medicine procedures to help athletes return to peak performance as quickly as possible. In addition to arthroscopic surgery and ligament reconstruction, these include targeted physiotherapy programs that are individually adapted to the needs of each athlete. The experienced therapists work closely with the medical team to effectively treat injuries and support rehabilitation. They promote healing and enable a quick return to sport using modern techniques and personalized treatment approaches. Trust in our expertise to safely achieve your sporting goals.
Osteotomy for Knock-Knees and Bowlegs
The Düsseldorf clinic offers osteotomies for the treatment of knock-knees and bowleg deformities. This innovative surgical technique aims to correct the leg axis, alleviate pain, and improve joint function. The clinic's experienced surgeons use state-of-the-art methods to achieve optimal results and promote a quick recovery. Patients benefit from comprehensive support throughout the entire treatment process, from the initial consultation to rehabilitation, to ensure a lasting return to their usual mobility.
Cruciate Ligament Rupture: The State of the Art in Treatment Options for Active People
Cruciate ligament injuries are not uncommon, especially among athletes, and burden the active individuals affected. Therefore, a fast and professional treatment plan is of great relevance and is implemented individually by the team of doctors at the knee surgery clinic. The surgeons operate according to the latest standards and with great sensitivity.
Depending on the injury pattern, various treatment options are available, including conservative therapy, arthroscopic reconstruction, ligament replacement surgery, and early rehabilitation measures. Early rehabilitation and long-term physiotherapy concepts are planned afterward to enable a quick and sustainable return to the sport. The goal is completely restoring mobility and strength and avoiding consequential damage.
