Markus Knupp MD

PD Dr. med. Markus Knupp has been working for more than 15 years in the field of foot and ankle surgery. During this time he has performed several thousand operations in both acute injuries and chronic problems/sequelae of trauma. He has a large experience in treating fractures, tendon diseases (especially Achillestendon-, tibialis posterior tendon and peronealtendon pathologies), forefoot corrections (i. e. bunion corrections, claw toes etc.) and the entire field of osteoarthrosis/-arthritis.

Particularly in the treatment of osteoarthritis he has an excellent reputation, not only for total ankle replacements, fusions but also in joint preserving surgical treatment options. For the latter, he has actively contributed to novel techniques in foot and ankle surgeries such as corrective osteotomies to halt join degeneration in early and midstage arthritis.

Until 2017 he chaired the foot and ankle unit of Kantonsspital Baselland (e.g. Kantonsspital Liestal, Bruderholz and Laufen) for over ten years. Next to his work in the public sector he is partner in the Sports Clinic#1, Bern, which became an official “Swiss Olympic Medial Partner” in October 2016. This gave access to a unique network to treat both elite and amateur athlete in a professional setting after injuries.
