Overview
We conduct arthroscopic surgery (knees, shoulders, elbows and ankles) for athletic injuries and degenerative disease treatments.
Endoscopic surgery is conducted for spinal operations. We have made achievements in prosthetic replacement arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. For severe injuries, we respond effectively and promptly by working closely with the Emergency Medical Care Center and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery department.
We also have a Rehabilitation Center in our hospital and by holding conferences with them, we aim for our patients to make an early transition back into society.
