Spital Männedorf

The musculoskeletal system consists of over 200 bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. They are constantly used in everyday life, so that overburdening and wear and tear can often cause discomfort. A misstep can happen quickly, or a slip on black ice. Bone injuries and torn ligaments are also part of the treatment spectrum of orthopedics.

We perform the operations in our operating rooms, which are state-of-the-art in terms of technology, safety and hygiene. Modern and reliable surgical techniques, muscle-sparing access during operations, and the latest materials are used.

Surgery is not necessary in every case however to achieve the desired treatment success. This is why we work closely during diagnosis and treatment with our internal and external partners, for example, radiologists, the hospital's own physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Our goal is to mutually select the best possible treatment for you, to carry it out and to ensure you are competently cared for. The focus is always on you and your individual condition.

At Männedorf Hospital, we treat all degenerative, often age-related complaints as well as accident-related damage, sports injuries of the shoulders, elbows and wrists, the hips and knees, as well as the feet and spine. Deformities such as bow legs or flat feet are also part of the scope of our orthopedics team.

Your ailments and questions relating to them are at the center of treatment. We will together draw up an individual treatment plan with a conservative - i.e. non-surgical - or if necessary surgical therapy. We work closely with our specialists in physiotherapy and surgeons as well as with our affiliated physicians.

Conservative therapy focuses on strengthening and centering the musculature of the musculoskeletal system. Parallel to this, medication which is injected into joints (i.e infiltrations) can also help. Surgery is considered when the other measures have been exhausted, but further improvement is desired and the chances of success for surgery are good.

Our medical specialists undergo constant ongoing training, in order to be able to offer you the most modern treatment methods. Our operating rooms are state-of-the-art in terms of technology, safety and hygiene, and we rely on contemporary and reliable techniques, muscle-sparing approaches and the latest materials.

The Orthopedics and Traumatology team participates in nationwide quality measurements that make surgery even safer.
