Decisions in context
What needs to be considered together.
An MRI finding does not always explain the symptoms. Conversely, significant loss of function can matter even when initial imaging is nonspecific.
Whether conservative care, additional diagnostic testing or surgery is appropriate depends on symptoms, function, associated injuries, activity goals, imaging and previous treatment.
International patients
Plan your consultation in Munich.
Bring original images and reports, previous operation notes, a medication list and a short timeline of symptoms and treatment. Write down the activities you want to regain and your most important question. Initial inquiries should not include confidential medical attachments; agree a suitable transfer route with the practice first.
Confirm the consultation language, any interpreting needs, fees and the appropriate appointment before booking travel. This website’s language does not guarantee a consultation in that language. Follow-up and communication with your local clinicians should be planned in advance.
Common questions
Answers to common questions.
Does this website replace an examination?
No. The information offers orientation, but cannot replace a medical history, physical examination or individual medical assessment.
Can treatment be decided directly from an MRI report?
Not reliably. Imaging, symptoms, function, associated findings, activity goals and the course of the condition need to be considered together.
How are treatment costs and follow-up agreed?
Request an individual estimate and clarify reimbursement with your insurer. Ask which examinations, written reports and follow-up visits are included. International patients should also plan rehabilitation and medical contact after returning home.
