Surgery

There are different types of surgery. Each surgical procedure has its specific indication. Below you will find more information by type of surgery and for which indication each surgery can serve.

Trajectories

Non-operative trajectory

Our philosophy is not to operate first. We believe very strongly in a holistic approach where the body adapts to what you give and ask for. Recent data analysis of approximately 2000 of our hip patients, shows that we only need to operate on 23% of this population. The non-operative pathway consists of a personalized approach with exercise therapy and a holistic approach. To tailor this pathway, we first fully assess you through objective and subjective measurements.

Operative trajectory

Are non-operative treatment options not sufficiently successful? Or are you in too much pain to pursue the non-operative route? If so, our surgeons are ready to help you move forward with an operative trajectory.

See below how a surgical procedure works and what surgical treatments we can help you with.
