At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, the focus is on the musculoskeletal system and the spine. Our specialists offer a broad spectrum of surgical and conservative treatments, ranging from the care of major joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder to procedures involving the foot and ankle as well as the spine. This range of services is complemented by recognized expertise in pediatric orthopedics, hand surgery, and rheumatology.
Tailored Expertise
At our clinic, people – or rather, the human body – are at the center of everything we do. Our individual solutions and treatments are always tailored specifically to you. We specialize in the following areas:
Our Services
Trauma & Injury
Comprehensive assessment and treatment following accidents, including advanced imaging, wound care, stabilization of bones and joints, and individualized follow-up care to ensure a fast and safe recovery.
Conservative treatment
Individually tailored conservative therapies to relieve pain and promote healing – ranging from physiotherapy and injections to medication-based treatments and targeted rehabilitation for sustainable restoration of mobility.
Orthopedic Surgery
Surgical and minimally invasive procedures involving joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments to restore function, stability, and freedom from pain – individually tailored to each patient’s needs.
Radiology
Rapid diagnostic assessments such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI, providing precise examinations for optimal diagnosis.
Spine
The spine forms the stable center of the human body and is responsible for posture, mobility, and the protection of the spinal cord. Disorders or injuries in this area can have far-reaching consequences – ranging from pain and restricted mobility to neurological deficits. Spinal surgery is therefore a highly specialized field that requires close collaboration between orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we offer the full spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for the spine. This includes surgical treatment of herniated discs, vertebral fractures, and spinal instability, as well as the management of degenerative, rheumatic, and traumatic conditions. Congenital deformities such as scoliosis or kyphosis, as well as the surgical treatment of abscesses and tumors, also fall within our area of expertise. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore stability, and sustainably improve the quality of life of our patients through the use of state-of-the-art techniques.

Shoulder
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and allows for an exceptionally wide range of movement. However, this high degree of mobility also makes it particularly susceptible to disorders and injuries. Frequent overhead work, poor posture, falls, or sports-related strain can disrupt the complex interaction of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Typical conditions include rotator cuff injuries, impingement syndromes, dislocations, and osteoarthritis, all of which can lead to pain and restricted mobility. Clavicle fractures and chronic overuse injuries are also among the most common diagnoses.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we specialize in the assessment and treatment of shoulder conditions and shoulder injuries. Our goal is to restore mobility, relieve pain, and ensure long-term resilience in everyday activities as well as in sports through the use of state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches.

Elbow
The elbow is a complex hinge joint that connects the upper arm and the forearm, allowing precise movements such as bending, straightening, and rotation of the forearm. This combination of stability and mobility is essential for almost all daily activities—from lifting objects to writing. For this very reason, however, the elbow is also prone to conditions caused by overuse, incorrect movement patterns, or injuries. Common problems include tendon irritation such as tennis or golfer’s elbow, bursitis, post-traumatic instability, and osteoarthritis. Fractures and chronic overload resulting from repetitive sports or occupational strain are also among the typical diagnoses.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of elbow conditions and elbow injuries. Using modern imaging techniques and individually tailored treatment concepts—ranging from conservative to surgical—we aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and sustainably restore function in everyday life as well as in sports.

Hand
The hand is one of the most delicate and versatile tools of the human body. It consists of 27 bones, numerous joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves that work together to enable highly precise movements and powerful grips. This complex structure also makes the hand particularly vulnerable to injury and overuse. Common causes of hand problems include falls, repetitive strain at work or during sports, and age-related wear and tear. Typical conditions include tendon inflammations, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis of the finger joints or the thumb carpometacarpal joint, nerve compression syndromes, and fractures. Degenerative or rheumatic changes can also significantly impair hand strength and mobility.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of hand conditions and hand injuries. Our goal is to restore hand function and fine motor skills as effectively as possible, reduce pain, and ensure long-term resilience in everyday life as well as during sports activities. We rely on modern therapeutic approaches, precise surgical techniques, and close collaboration with physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Hip
The hip is the second-largest joint in the human body and plays a crucial role in mobility, stability, and overall quality of life. It connects the upper body to the legs and, due to its ball-and-socket structure, allows a wide range of movements—from flexion and extension to internal and external rotation. Muscles and ligaments provide stability and keep the joint head securely seated in the socket. The pelvis, consisting of the sacrum and the two hip bones, is directly connected to the spine and contributes significantly to an upright posture and stable stance. Typical conditions such as osteoarthritis, injuries, or malalignments can severely impair hip function and cause pain.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we specialize in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of hip conditions and hip injuries—ranging from conservative approaches to modern surgical procedures designed to restore mobility and quality of life for our patients.

Knee
The knee joint is the largest and at the same time one of the most complex joints in the human body. With every step, it bears multiple times our body weight, making it a central yet highly stressed joint. The finely coordinated interaction of the kneecap, menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, muscles, tendons, and joint capsule ensures stability and mobility—while also making the knee susceptible to injury and wear. Typical conditions range from meniscal tears and ligament injuries to osteoarthritis and cartilage damage, all of which can cause pain and limitations in daily life as well as during sports.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of knee conditions and knee injuries. Our range of services extends from conservative therapies and arthroscopic procedures to modern joint replacement surgery, with the aim of restoring load-bearing capacity, mobility, and quality of life for our patients.

Foot and Ankle Joint
Our feet carry us through everyday life for a lifetime—they perform heavy work and are nevertheless often underestimated. The complex interaction of bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments in the foot and ankle makes this region particularly susceptible to injury and overuse. Whether caused by sports, occupational strain, or age-related wear and tear, conditions affecting this area can significantly limit mobility.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we specialize in the treatment of this sensitive region. Our experts cover the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions and injuries—from acute problems such as ligament tears and fractures to chronic complaints, deformities, and osteoarthritis. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and individually tailored therapies, we ensure that our patients regain mobility and load-bearing capacity as quickly as possible.

Rheumatology
Rheumatology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Particular attention is given to the joints, muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. Another key area is immunological systemic diseases, known as autoimmune diseases, which may affect not only the musculoskeletal structures but also organs such as the skin, lungs, kidneys, or the nervous system. Typical conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, as well as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we rely on state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, individually tailored therapies, and close interdisciplinary collaboration with other medical specialties. This ensures comprehensive care for our patients even in complex cases, with the aim of relieving pain, preserving mobility, and maintaining long-term quality of life.
Sports Medicine
In sports medicine, the focus is on the prevention, assessment, and treatment of injuries as well as complaints related to movement and physical activity. The goal is to maintain and promote the health and performance of physically active people in the long term—regardless of whether they are recreational, amateur, or professional athletes.
The sports medicine specialists at AndreasKlinik combine solid medical expertise with modern sports science methods. They support athletes in improving their performance, preventing overuse injuries, and achieving individual training goals in a healthy way.
Through comprehensive diagnostics, carefully designed treatment concepts, and close interdisciplinary collaboration—for example with physiotherapy—we ensure that our patients can return to their daily lives or to sport as quickly, safely, and sustainably as possible after injuries. We also support patients with chronic conditions or recurring pain through targeted therapies and preventive measures aimed at achieving long-term improvements in physical health.
Pediatric Orthopedics
Pediatric orthopedics focuses on the detection, treatment, and long-term care of congenital or acquired conditions, deformities, and growth disorders of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents. As bones, muscles, and joints are still developing during this stage of life, treatment requires special expertise and a sensitive understanding of natural growth and development. Typical conditions include hip dysplasia, foot deformities such as flatfoot or clubfoot, leg axis deviations, growth disorders, scoliosis, and sports injuries. Congenital malformations and the consequences of accidents are also managed on an individual basis in pediatric orthopedics.
At AndreasKlinik Cham Zug, we place great importance on child-friendly, empathetic diagnostics and therapy. Our goal is to support healthy musculoskeletal development, correct deformities at an early stage, and prevent long-term impairment. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, and extensive experience, we support children, adolescents, and their families on the path toward an active, pain-free future.
