Head and neck centre
The head and neck centre is a fusion of two medical disciplines into one department: nose, throat and ear (ENT), facial and neck surgery and oral, maxillofacial surgery.
In this way, in one multidisciplinary centre, we can help people with all possible problems in the head and neck area. As a result, we can offer a much broader spectrum of care, but above all we can include the patient in one integrated care process. This is an advantage for patients, who often find themselves caught between these two disciplines.

examination
Bone densitometry (DEXA)
A bone densitometry is a measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at various places such as the hip and spine and possibly the wrist or other bones. In this examination, we use a beam of very low intensity X-rays to make images of the bones. This allows us to measure the density of the bone and determine the extent of any osteoporosis.
condition
Ankle injuries (orthopaedics)
Complaints of the ankle joint are common and are related to various aspects: position, strain, occupation, sport or age. Injuries of the ankle usually occur after a sprain of the ankle. This often damages the ankle ligaments and/or cartilage.
condition
Ankle entrapment (impingement)
An ankle entrapment (impingement) can occur due to thickening caused by scar tissue, extra bone ingrowth (osteophytes) or prolonged (sports) overload. This causes pain and an inflammatory reaction.
condition
Ankle instability
With ankle instability, you have the feeling of sinking through your foot. This feeling can occur during sports activities but can also occur in everyday life. Abnormalities in the ankle or a (frequent) injury that has not healed properly can damage cartilage and cause instability.
treatment
Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery)
Arthroscopy, or keyhole joint surgery, involves looking into a joint by making several small incisions. This is done with the help of a camera.
