Dr. Jan Huismans, FMH specialist in orthopedic surgery and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system, takes the time to listen to you and seek a solution to your locomotor problem. Have you suffered a sports injury? He can also see you at his practice, and in the hospitals where he practices, being also specialized in sports medicine.

The most important thing for Dr Jan Huismans is that his patients trust him and feel good when they call on him. He takes the time to listen and analyze the situation to find the best possible treatments or solutions. 

Over the years, he has specialized in the management of large joints, including the knee, whether the cause is degenerative or traumatic.

His 25 years' experience as an orthopedic surgeon and in musculoskeletal trauma also enables him to determine whether or not an operation is essential. 

Knee surgery

The surgical operations performed are arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery (meniscus, cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament) and osteoarthritis surgery (osteotomy, partial or total prosthesis).

Hip surgery

This concerns people with disorders, hip and pelvic conditions that may be congenital, degenerative or traumatological in origin. After consultation, if no other treatment has worked or if no other solution is conceivable, arthroplasty (prosthesis) offers surprising and lasting results.

Shoulder surgery

There are different types of shoulder surgery. 

As for Dr. Huismans, he performs arthroscopic surgery. As the name suggests, this is a minimally invasive surgical method for diagnosing and treating a number of diseases and lesions that affect joints. Some conditions can only be treated, or respond better, with an open surgical technique. 

He deals with muscle surgery (for example  rotator cuff rupture), ligament surgery (for example shoulder instability and dislocations), degenerative joint disorders (osteoarthritis) that can lead to total prosthesis (anatomic or reverse).

Foot surgery

Dr. Huismans mainly treats people with forefoot disorders, the vast majority of which are represented by outward deviations of the big toe (hallux valgus or bunion) with or without osteotomy of the first metatarsal.
