Make way for individualized care
In modern orthopedics, there is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution. Each patient has their own unique anatomy, activity level, expectations, and medical context. custom orthopedic surgery consists of adapting each stage of care, from diagnosis to rehabilitation, taking into account these individual specificities.
Dr. Coulin has practiced this personalized approach since his beginnings, combining surgical expertise, cutting-edge technologies and attentive listening to the needs of his patients.
What is custom orthopedic surgery?
There tailor-made surgery is not limited to the choice of an implant. It is a philosophy of care that places the patient, their body and their lifestyle at the center of every medical decision.
It includes:
- A comprehensive clinical assessment, to understand each profile.
- A appropriate therapeutic choice : medical, regenerative or surgical.
- A assisted surgical planning by computer or 3D imaging.
- Of the custom implants depending on morphology, age and activity.
- A tailor-made rehabilitation, depending on mobility objectives and pace of life.
This approach ensures that each surgical procedure is consistent with overall practice, aiming to preserve natural anatomy as much as possible and optimize recovery.
For what types of interventions?
Personalization is particularly essential in several areas:
- Complex pathologies : patella, meniscus, femoroacetabular conflict… where each movement must be adjusted to the morphology and biomechanics of the patient.
- Knee or hip prostheses : the millimetric positioning of the implants directly conditions the stability, mobility and longevity of the results.
- Ligament reconstruction : the choice of graft (hamstrings, patellar tendon, quadriceps) depends on the sport practiced, the history and the morphology.
- Prosthesis revisions : where the bone condition, age and expectations of the patient impose a specific and often more technical strategy.
In all these cases, the custom orthopedic surgery allows techniques to be adapted to real needs rather than applying a standardized approach.

- Preoperative 3D imaging, to anticipate bone characteristics and prepare for the intervention.
- Surgical navigation or personalized guides, which guide each gesture according to the actual morphology.
- Choosing the right implants to gender, age, activity level and functional goals.
