9 OUR PHILOSOPHY EXACT DIAGNOSIS, PERSONALISED THERAPY THERAPY BEFORE SURGERY An operation is not always necessary for treatment. Physiotherapy, training therapy or infiltrations are often enough to achieve an improvement. If surgery is unavoidable, various surgical techniques are available. Many operations can now be performed using arthroscopy, which is also known as keyhole surgery. PARTNER FOR SURGERY All operations are carried out at our partner for surgery, Hirslanden AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, on an outpatient or inpatient basis depending on their complexity. FOR ALL CLASSES OF HEALTH INSURANCE COVER Ortho Cham Zug as well as the Hirslanden AndreasKlinik accept patients with all classes of health insurance cover round the clock in emergencies. 9
