ORTHOPOLE

What ORTHOPOLE does

ORTHOPOLE is a private orthopedic surgery group practice founded in 1987 and based at Clinique du Pont de Chaume in Montauban, France, operating under the brand ORTHOPOLE 82®. The practice is staffed by four orthopedic surgeons — Drs Laurent Bistour, Marc Giraud, Michael Andrieu, and Pierre Devallet — each specializing in distinct musculoskeletal domains (hip/knee, foot/ankle/knee ligaments, and upper limb respectively), with permanent collaboration from sports medicine physician Dr Loïc Pagnin. All four surgeons are former Internes de CHU and Chefs de Clinique-Assistants des Hôpitaux Universitaires.

The practice delivers surgical and consultation services across hip and knee replacement, foot and ankle surgery, shoulder arthroscopy, upper limb and hand surgery, sports medicine, and emergency trauma care. Its technical platform includes computer-assisted navigation surgery, minimally invasive surgical techniques (pioneered in France since 2004 for hip prostheses), an ambulatory (outpatient) surgery program, and Cybex isokinetic dynamometry for functional muscle evaluation. The practice maintains HAS ICALIN certification through the host clinic and surgeons participate in the Orthorisq physician accreditation program.

Commercially, ORTHOPOLE operates under France's secteur 2 conventionné framework with the Assurance Maladie, billing per the official fee schedule with allowable supplements that are publicly posted. Revenue is generated from individual patient consultations and surgical procedures on a fee-for-service basis. Patients are sourced through regional referrals, emergency access (including 24/7 on-call), and reputation-driven pull from across the Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions plus international patients seeking minimally invasive hip replacement. The practice maintains active participation in numerous French professional orthopedic societies (SOFCOT, SFA, AFCP, GRECMIP, GEM-SFCM, SOFEC, GETRAUM, AFCA).
