Ruben, did you find a good ortho surgeon here? I need to have a tendon in my ankle repaired and am not sure where to have it done...

| Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but:
I was diagnosed with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (basically my arch in my foot falls) in the US a few months ago, and my Swiss insurance coverage approved the surgery for the US, then denied it saying the cost was too high. They told me they would do the surgery in Switzerland, if I came back. I returned and have visited two Orthopedic surgeons who do not know what diagnosis to make. I have shown them the US doctor's diagnosis, but they shrug it off saying there is nothing they can do.
I am getting quite frustrated as the pain is terrible. Does anyone know of a really good Orthopedic specialist- especially one that specializes in the ankle and foot? An English (or even French or Italian) speaking doctor in the Romande area would be great (but I am willing to travel anywhere in CH)! I have an appointment with another doctor, but he can't see me until March! Thanks to anyone who can help me with this grueling ordeal! | |
