Knee doctor in Dusseldorf

Are you suffering from foot pain, difficulty walking, or ankle problems and looking for an experienced foot specialist in Düsseldorf (NRW)?

At our MVZ for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery in Düsseldorf-Golzheim, Dr. Dirk Pajonk and Dr. Peter Buddenberg offer specialized foot orthopaedics, combining thorough examinations, modern diagnostics, and gentle conservative therapies.

Whether you are experiencing heel pain, splayfoot, Achilles tendon complaints, or pain in the forefoot or midfoot, we identify the cause quickly and accurately. Thanks to our in-house MRI and digital volume tomography, you will receive precise imaging without long waiting times, allowing us to detect structural changes promptly and initiate a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Our goal: to maintain your mobility, reduce pain, and improve foot function in the long term – using modern, efficient, and conservative therapies, with surgical options if necessary.

Our Range of Treatments for Knee Problems

As your knee specialist in Düsseldorf (NRW), we cover the entire conservative spectrum of therapy and diagnostic procedures. If surgery is necessary, we refer you to surgical centers or hospitals. We place particular emphasis on ensuring that diagnostics and therapy are carried out promptly.

Conservative Therapies for Knee Pain

  • Physiotherapy and manual therapy to improve mobility, strengthen muscles, and stabilize the joint.
  • Infiltration therapy & targeted injections for pain or nerve irritation in the knee area.
  • ACP therapy: Biological joint therapy using your own blood plasma to promote regeneration in cases of cartilage and ligament injuries, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain in the knee.

When should you see a knee specialist?

If you have persistent knee pain or your knee problems are getting worse, you are in the right place with us as your knee specialist in Düsseldorf. It doesn’t matter whether the pain occurs after a sports injury, recurs in everyday life, or is caused by joint wear. An early specialist consultation can not only relieve pain but also prevent structural damage and chronic conditions.

How do you know a visit is advisable?

  • Your knee hurts for several weeks and home treatment (rest, ice, elevation) brings no improvement.
  • You feel a sense of instability, e.g., “the knee gives way,” or you hear/feel a “cracking,” “popping,” or a sudden give-way when walking or climbing stairs.
  • Swelling, warmth, or redness occurs in the knee—especially after exertion or injury, which may indicate inflammation or damage.
  • Your mobility is significantly limited: you can no longer fully straighten or bend the leg; climbing stairs or getting up becomes more difficult.
  • You have already suffered a knee injury (e.g., meniscus tear, cruciate ligament tear, or ligament/cartilage damage), or you know you have joint wear (osteoarthritis)—in these cases, consultation with a specialized knee specialist (knee specialist NRW) is particularly recommended.

As your knee specialist, we ensure that not only the symptoms are alleviated, but the underlying cause is addressed—so you can regain mobility and live free of discomfort as quickly as possible.

Diagnostics in our practice

As your kneedoctors in Düsseldorf, we rely on fast, precise diagnosis—directly on site in our practice in Düsseldorf-Golzheim. The first step is a detailed consultation in which we record your complaints, limitations, and previous therapy attempts. This is followed by a thorough physical examination: we check joint mobility, stability, muscle guidance, and any accompanying symptoms such as swelling or instability.

Highly recommended – excellent care from Dr. Kutup. I can wholeheartedly recommend the MVZ OU Golzheim and especially Dr. Kutup. After my foot injury, I received outstanding care from Dr. Kutup both in his practice and in the hospital. He took ample time to explain the findings and the necessary treatment clearly and conveyed a highly competent and trustworthy impression with every decision. The subsequent surgery was performed personally by Dr. Kutup and went very well. The follow-up examination was also exceptionally thorough and professional. I particularly appreciated his calm, compassionate, and yet very precise manner – you always feel like you're in truly good hands. The entire team at the MVZ OU Golzheim is also friendly, attentive, and extremely well-organized. Many thanks to Dr. Kutup and the entire team for the excellent treatment and care. A clear recommendation!

I came to Dr. Pajonk on a recommendation because of a torn meniscus and have been receiving treatment there for about six weeks now. Everything went quite smoothly from the start. You can get an appointment quickly and don't have to wait forever, which unfortunately isn't always the case. Dr. Pajonk is very relaxed, takes his time, and really listens. I didn't feel like I was just being rushed through. Everything was explained clearly, and I could ask questions without any problems. I especially appreciated that he didn't immediately recommend drastic measures but suggested conservative therapies first. The practice team is also friendly, helpful, and professional; everything ran smoothly. Overall, I felt very well cared for. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend this practice.

My experiences at this practice, spanning over 15 years and primarily with Dr. Pajonk, have been consistently excellent. I have usually received a prompt diagnosis and, to this day, a quick and targeted treatment. Dr. Pajonk is not one to quickly prescribe pills, injections, or surgery, which I always appreciate. All in all, he is my absolute first choice.
