Your benefits

Appointments at short notice for rapid initial treatment, the highest quality of medical care and high patient satisfaction are our top priorities.

You will be thoroughly examined by an experienced trauma surgeon, who will make a diagnosis and propose a treatment plan.

When it comes to casts, braces, etc., we rely on state-of-the-art models and technologies.

If an operation is required, we will work with you to select the most suitable surgeon from our network of hand-picked specialists.

If the diagnosis calls for an operation, we will bring in a second specialist in trauma surgery (second opinion).

Costs

The costs for the services of our sports injuries unit must be paid by the patient. You will receive an invoice and have the opportunity to pay this immediately in cash or with a debit or credit card.

For the initial examination by an experienced trauma surgeon, an X-ray and treatment with a plaster cast, we charge 260 EUR.

Please consult with your private health or accident insurance provider to find out whether (partial) reimbursement is possible.

Please note

If an operation is required, you will need additional private insurance coverage, or you can cover the costs yourself on a self-pay basis. In this case, we will provide you with a cost estimate in advance.
