About the department

Knee joints are the most vulnerable joints of the human body. Knee pain can occur even at a young age, but specialists of our specialized medical center will help you to overcome it by making a correct diagnosis and choosing an appropriate treatment. In order to relieve you from pain in knee joints, our center offers everything that is required to make a diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment. Our experienced staff will answer all the questions about your health. You will be assigned with a personal doctor who will directly supervise you in his office of Klinik Birshof, as well as in the hospital’s in-patient facility.

A lot of people suffer from knee pain. However, as time passes, pain may increase due to wear or overload, which leads to reduced quality of life, and sometimes to the loss of fitness to work. Since the knee pain itself is a symptom of an existing disease, our doctors can assign you the following procedure:

Surgeries to save the joints:

Leg axis correction
Ligament stabilization (cruciate ligament, collateral ligament, patella)
Meniscus surgeries (partial removal, partial replacement, replacement)
Cartilage replacement

Joint replacement:

Partial prostheses
Total knee prostheses
Verification of prostheses

Treatment of fractures of the knee and the area around it.

About hospital

Some prefer to solve their health problems and receive healthcare abroad, for example, in Switzerland. Since 2002, Swiss hospital Klinik Birshof belongs to Hirslanden, the first group of private healthcare facilities in Switzerland. The merger of the former private hospitals of the country has given important impetus to the Swiss healthcare system and indicated the further direction to move into the future. Modern healthcare has become so complex that individual initiatives have now become pointless. Anyone who wants to provide medical services at the highest level should be able to work interdisciplinary and use efforts in an optimum way. Hirslanden is managed on private economic principles. The success of this group of private healthcare facilities is based on high motivation, flexibility and transparency, as well as on lifelong education, professional development of staff, and active exchange of experience and skills.
