Knee clinic in Hamburg

The knee is a sensitive joint that is rarely the sole culprit. Very often the cause lies in the hip, in the foot, or in muscle control that never fully returned after an old injury. So we do not examine only the knee.

What you can come with

Cruciate ligament injuries and after ACL surgery Meniscus complaints Patellar tendon complaints Kneecap problems and instability Cartilage damage Ligament injuries Complaints after surgery Acute knee pain after sport

How it works

History, clinical examination with the established stability and meniscus tests, assessment of leg alignment and muscle control, interpretation of any imaging you have.

Then the plan: treatment, rebuilding, and for athletic goals a test before returning to full load.

Acute clinic

Knee swollen after the match? Write to us.

A locked back, a stiff neck, a twisted ankle or a fresh sports injury: register or send us an enquiry. We also treat outside regular hours, and urgent enquiries are handled at the weekend too.

Questions about this clinic

Frequently asked

How long does rehab take after a cruciate ligament tear?

Rebuilding usually spans several months and follows measurable criteria, not the calendar: strength comparison of both sides, jump and landing tests, changes of direction under fatigue. Only when those values are right do we recommend a return to competitive sport.

Does a meniscus tear always need surgery?

No. A proportion of meniscus findings respond well to conservative treatment, especially degenerative changes without locking. Whether surgery makes sense is for the doctor to decide, we help you weigh the question and work with specialist doctors to do so.

My knee hurts going down stairs. What's behind that?

Often an overload of the extensor mechanism or poor tracking of the kneecap. The cause frequently lies in the hip muscles or in foot position. That is exactly what we look at in the examination, rather than treating only the knee.

What usually goes with it

All services

Service

Post-operative rehabilitation

After an operation, the aftercare decides the outcome at least as much as the procedure itself. We accompany you on that path from the first appointment after discharge to the point where you can fully load your leg or your shoulder again.

→Service

Return to Sport and Return to Performance

The stretch between "it doesn't hurt any more" and "it holds up in competition". It is the part most often skipped, and the reason many injuries come back. We close it with measurable criteria, not a gut feeling.

→Service

Return-to-sport testing

With test batteries we developed ourselves, we check strength, jump performance, landing control, changes of direction and differences between sides under real load. That shows objectively how much load your body can already take.

→Service

Athletic training

Athletic training makes you more resilient, faster and more resistant to injury. It is built around the movement patterns of your sport, not around a machine, and it starts with an assessment, not an off-the-shelf plan.

→Service

Functional Assessment

A structured examination of your body for stability, mobility and flexibility, not at a single joint, but across the whole movement chain. We see which areas are doing work that really belongs elsewhere. That is exactly where overload develops, often long before it hurts.
