From a young age, I have been driven by movement: karate was my passion in my early youth and I was able to practice it at the highest level. At the moment, I am still active as an indoor football player and I like to play padel. As an orthopedic surgeon, I am allowed to help people move, with my areas of focus on knee arthroplasty and sports traumatology of the knee and ankle. The patient is always central to me. By making decisions together and working multidisciplinary, I can provide tailor-made care. With the aim: movement, because movement makes you live.
