Description

Chirurgien orthopédique spécialisé dans les pathologies du pied et de la cheville, je suis consultant à l’Hôpital Erasme et chef de service associé au CHU Brugmann. Je prends en charge l’ensemble des douleurs et blessures liées au pied et à la cheville : entorses, instabilité, pathologies du tendon d’Achille, hallux valgus et autres déformations de l’avant-pied, arthrose, ainsi que les lésions liées à la pratique sportive. Ancien médecin de l’académie de football du SL Benfica (U19), je suis également titulaire d’un doctorat en bio-ingénierie (« From in silico to insight: using computational models to guide the management of Achilles tendon ruptures », Instituto Superior Técnico / Université de Lisbonne), avec une activité académique soutenue et plusieurs publications scientifiques.
