Orthopaedics: Here for you
We provide you with an excellent medical service. At Balgrist University Hospital you will be cared for by a team of renowned, internationally recognised specialists in musculoskeletal and spinal damage and pain.
Paraplegia: Moving closer
Our spinal cord injury centre provides comprehensive medical care for patients with spinal cord injuries. We are closer to research, the therapies of tomorrow, and closer to life - with a family atmosphere in the middle of Zurich.
Shoulder & elbow
PD Dr. Karl Wieser and his team ensure first-class diagnosis and treatment of all shoulder and elbow problems in patients of all ages, and are especially attuned to the needs of both recreational and elite athletes. You will benefit from the latest approaches to diagnosis and treatment, which the Balgrist University Hospital is constantly developing through its own scientific research and clinical studies.
Spine
The spine is a key component of the human body and the University Spine Centre in Zurich is correspondingly important. We offer our patients the full range of spine medicine. Our goal is to provide optimal treatment and find the best possible therapeutic approach for you.
Knee
The knee is the largest joint in the human body. Disease or injury to this joint can severely restrict mobility. Dr Sandro Fucentese and his team will find the best form of treatment for you, using the very latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive surgery, computer-assisted navigation, and arthroscopy.
Hip & pelvis
The second largest joint in the human body is of key importance for pain-free unrestricted movement in everyday activities and sports. Dr Patrick Zingg and his team are highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons, who are there at your side if you need treatment or surgery of the hip and pelvis.
Hand
Prof. Ladislav Nagy and his team cover the whole spectrum of hand and peripheral nerve surgery – whatever the problem, its cause, or the complexity of treatment.
Foot
As a patient of Balgrist University Hospital, you can benefit from the whole range of the foot and ankle surgery. Dr Stephan Wirth and his team specialise in diseases and injuries of the foot and ankle. These include sporting injuries and the complications that may follow. Thanks to intensive research work, surgical techniques at Balgrist University Hospital are constantly being developed, and their success reflected by the continuing improvement in results.
Further areas of expertise
