Orthopaedic and Traumatological Surgery

Orthopaedic and trauma surgery: restoring mobility, relieving pain

Orthopaedic and trauma surgery aims to treat conditions of the musculoskeletal system, whether caused by wear and tear, congenital abnormalities or trauma. It deals with bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. In Vernier, access to an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon ensures comprehensive care, whether for chronic pain or acute injuries.

Severe sprains, fractures, dislocations, torn ligaments, as well as advanced osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome or rotator cuff tears: these are all conditions in which surgery is sometimes necessary to restore a satisfactory quality of life. It is often performed as a complement to medical or functional treatment, when rehabilitation, medication or injections have not been sufficient to provide a lasting solution to the problem.

Our orthopaedic surgeon in Vernier treats both degenerative conditions and injuries resulting from falls, accidents or sporting activities. The first step involves an accurate diagnosis, established in consultation with the centre’s GP where necessary, and supported by imaging or laboratory tests. Surgery is never recommended lightly: it is considered only when it offers an effective and long-lasting solution.

Following surgery, recovery is central to the patient’s journey. This is why collaboration with physiotherapy is essential to support rehabilitation and speed up the return to functional mobility. Other disciplines may also be involved depending on the patient’s profile, such as nutrition, to support the healing process, or psychology, when pain or a loss of independence affects the patient’s morale.

Consulting an orthopaedic surgeon in Geneva – and particularly at our medical centre in Vernier – means you can benefit from a caring, personalised and coordinated approach. Every patient receives thorough care within a comprehensive medical setting, where communication between specialists is facilitated on a daily basis.

Whether it is a matter of regaining the use of a limb following an injury or planning treatment to relieve persistent pain, the support we offer always has the same aim: to restore movement, reduce discomfort, and enable everyone to get back to their normal lives in the best possible circumstances.
