Dedicated specialist surgeons at your service
International Elite Care brings together a group of renowned surgeons practising in France and Andorra. Each specialist contributes their own field of expertise while sharing the same commitment: to deliver a structured, safe and reassuring care pathway, from the very first contact through to post-operative follow-up.
By working together as a multidisciplinary team, our surgeons are able to address your condition accurately and recommend the most appropriate solution for you. This collective expertise allows us to offer personalised care, based on both extensive clinical experience and ongoing medical research.
A structured and personalised care pathway
Your care pathway is designed to be simple, transparent and adapted to your personal situation. From the very first contact, our team explains the proposed treatment, expected timelines, pre-operative preparation and post-operative follow-up.
When travelling is not possible or not yet necessary, video consultations allow your medical file to be reviewed remotely. This makes it easier to discuss your options, answer your questions and prepare for surgery without unnecessary journeys. After your procedure, follow-up care is carefully organised. Scheduled consultations and digital monitoring tools such as the Orthense platform help track your recovery and reassure you once you return home. This continuous support plays an important role in your comfort, safety and recovery.

Knee surgery
Knee surgery is one of the core specialities of our team, covering ligament injuries, cartilage damage and degenerative conditions such as arthritis.
Foot and ankle surgery
Foot and ankle surgery focuses on precise treatment of conditions affecting the forefoot, hindfoot and
Achilles tendon.
Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques are used to reduce post-operative discomfort and support faster recovery. This approach is particularly appreciated by international patients seeking specialised care in a reassuring medical setting.
Hip surgery
Hip surgery is approached with a focus on comfort, mobility and recovery. Our specialists combine surgical expertise with effective pain management and structured rehabilitation.
Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols are used whenever possible to limit hospital stay. The overall care environment is designed to provide comfort and peace of mind, especially for patients travelling from abroad.
