The knee bears much of your weight and movement, which is why it is the site of many sports and degenerative injuries. At Clínica Darder we study it in depth to return you to your activity with the right treatment for each case.
Every knee is different, which is why we begin by listening to your case and examining you calmly. When needed, we request imaging tests to refine the diagnosis. Whenever possible we opt for conservative treatment and reserve surgery for when it is the appropriate option. Our aim is clear: to relieve pain, restore mobility and support you as you return to your daily life and to sport, without rushing and with close follow-up from Dr Antonio Darder Prats and Dr Antonio Darder García.

No. At Clínica Darder we begin with conservative treatment whenever possible and reserve surgery for when it is the appropriate option. Each case is assessed individually, taking into account your symptoms, your activity and the tests carried out.
First we carry out a detailed examination in the clinic and listen to your story. When needed, we request imaging tests that help confirm the diagnosis and decide on treatment. Not every case requires the same tests, which is why we assess each knee on an individual basis.
The aim is for you to regain your activity and your sport with a stable, pain-free knee. The time this takes depends on the injury and the treatment given. Throughout the whole process we support you with close follow-up until you are back to your usual pace.
