Dr. Simon Tournemine

I specialise in lower limb surgery, with expertise in the hip, knee, ankle and foot. During my residency and fellowship at the renowned Orthopaedic Department of Cochin Hospital, I developed advanced expertise in joint replacement surgery. I perform total hip replacement using the latest surgical advances, including minimally invasive direct anterior approach techniques combined with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. I also perform total knee replacement following the same principles, with personalised preoperative planning tailored to each patient’s anatomy. Together, these modern surgical techniques are designed to optimise clinical outcomes while promoting faster recovery and an earlier return to everyday activities.

I also specialise in foot and ankle surgery, including the treatment of hallux valgus, osteoarthritis, deformities, ankle instability and other complex conditions. My training at Ambroise-Paré Hospital (Boulogne-Billancourt), where I continue to practise, has enabled me to develop extensive expertise in this highly specialised field. These procedures are performed using percutaneous techniques (without open surgery) or minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, a video-assisted approach that allows treatment without opening the joint. Today, foot and ankle surgery represents one of my principal areas of expertise.

As an endurance athlete myself, competing in long-distance triathlon, ultra-trail running and mountaineering, I have a unique understanding of sports-related injuries and their functional impact. I treat sports injuries using the latest evidence-based surgical techniques, including meniscal repair, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and ankle stabilisation procedures. My objective is to provide athletes with access to the most advanced surgical innovations, enabling a safe, efficient recovery and a return to sport under the best possible conditions.
