About the doctor
Preserve the joint instead of replacing it
Why patients choose Professor Erggelet
- Biological cartilage reconstruction. Transplantation of the patient’s own cartilage cells — a technique that can delay or avoid arthroplasty.
- Joint-preserving arthroplasty. Minimally invasive knee and hip replacement when preserving the native joint is no longer possible.
- Sports medicine. Treatment of sports injuries aimed at returning to prior activity levels, not pain relief alone.
- International recognition. Member of ISAKOS, AAOS and ICRS — leading global societies in arthroscopy, orthopaedics and cartilage repair.
