Van Den Eeden Hip Clinic

Van den Eeden Hip Clinic in St Martens Latem, Belgium is an internationally renowned specialist hip replacement clinic providing minimally invasive hip replacement surgery using the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). The clinic is led by Dr F.M.C. van den Eeden, an innovative and experienced surgeon who has performed over 6,000 hip replacements in his career. In the last ten years he has adopted the DAA technique, successfully completing in excess of 1,000 hip replacements using this method to date. By minimising the damage to healthy muscles and other tissues, the DAA technique is associated with lower intraoperative and postoperative complications, less pain and a faster recovery compared to more traditional methods of hip replacement surgery. Patients are typically able to leave the clinic one day after the operation and, following rehabilitation at a partner facility, ready to fly home approximately one to two weeks later. The clinic in St Martens Latem is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities and its operating theatres and recovery room have a class 1 rating. Van den Eeden Hip Clinic is highly experienced in treating international patients and provides a comprehensive treatment programme that includes consultations by the head surgeon, surgery, rehabilitation and hotel accommodation. Airport transfers are also available upon request.
