If you have any questions or would like more information, please fill in the contact form at www.flexclinics.nl or on this website. Medical Tourism Would you like to rehabilitate under the Spanish sun after your new hip or knee replacement? The operation will be performed by a Dutch team. You will be assisted postoperatively by a Dutch or English physiotherapist. After at least one week you will fly back to the Netherlands, but of course you may stay longer with your partner or carer. A large part of the costs will be covered by your Dutch health insurance, but you will always have to pay a contribution yourself. But in return, you will have a relaxing rehabilitation and a fantastic holiday. The first consultation and the follow-up consultations can take place in Utrecht or Marbella. Introduction: If your pain symptoms are caused by osteoarthritis, infiltration into the joint may be a solution. An injection of corticosteroids is often tried first in the acute phase. The effect is 2 to 4 months. However, if these infiltrations are repeated, side effects such as additional wear and tear of the cartilage occur. Introduction: Introduction: Introduction: If you are insured by a Dutch insurance company, the consultation will be reimbursed if you have a referral from your GP. Without this referral you will have to pay the consultation yourself. Operations are covered by Dutch insurance. "Having been a surgeon myself for 30 years, I was extremely critical when my knee problems required surgery. All the orthopedic surgeons I personally knew well were now retired. After informing myself intensively, I ended up with colleague Van der Lugt in Marbella, working at the Ceram Hospital. The whole treatment went perfectly and I was operated on both knees lege artis. The whole procedure was extremely friendly and the reception at the Ceram Hospital very pleasant. The most important thing was and is that the treating doctors appeared to be knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended!" Utrecht on Feb. 22, 2023 "Van der Lugt is a sympathetic and competent doctor. He explained and reassured me. Everything went as he said it would. The reception in Flex Clinics was excellent. The accommodation was perfect. In the operating theatre, there was a good, cheerful atmosphere under the guidance of Mr van der Lugt. The operation went very well. People were satisfied. Both in the recovery room and in my room, Mr. van der Lugt showed great interest in my upcoming recovery. After just over 14 days I was walking again! Fantastic! Many thanks to Dr. van der Lugt! I wish him continued success! Utrecht on 14 February 2022 "Mr. vd Lugt was the ideal practitioner for me. Communicatively strong, sense of humour, never feeling rushed. He remembers personal details and shows that he is a 'people person'. He is also simply great at his job. Top." Zoetermeer on 27 December 2021 "In mid-October I was operated on my knee by Dr. Van de Lugt at the Flexclinics in Utrecht. Dr. Van de Lugt is a good listener and discusses the possibilities in a very pleasant way. The operation went very well and the wound is now healing perfectly, partly due to the innovative way of attaching the stitches (ZIP line). In addition to Dr. vd Lugt, the Flexclinics have an excellent team that works together and provides excellent care in a relaxed manner. The aftercare by both Dr. v.d. Lugt and the team is also excellent. I am extremely satisfied. Utrecht on 7 November 2021

Orthopedic treatments
Infiltrations in joints
Hip prosthesis
A worn-out hip joint can significantly reduce the quality of life. In case of both pain and functional impairment of the hip, a visit to the family doctor or orthopedic surgeon is recommended. With an examination and X-rays, the diagnosis is often easy to make. Of course, during this consultation other causes for the complaints should be excluded, such as, for example, neurological or vascular problems.
Knee prosthesis
A worn-out knee joint can significantly reduce the quality of life. Both pain and functional impairment of the knee should be addressed to the general practitioner or Orthopedic surgeon. With an examination and X-rays, the diagnosis is often easy to make. Of course, during this consultation other causes for the complaints should be excluded, such as, for example, a worn out hip joint, meniscus problems, but also neurological or vascular problems.
Revision operations of hip and knee replacements
Hip and knee replacements are very successful, also in the long term. After 15 years, 95% of the prostheses still function perfectly!
Nevertheless, in some cases a repair operation (also called "revision operation") may be necessary. Some reasons for revision surgery are discussed below.
