What Orthosud Montpellier does

Orthosud Montpellier is a private, practitioner-owned orthopedic surgery group founded in 2015 in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, France, near Montpellier. The group comprises 14 orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons organized into four hyper-specialization poles: Shoulder-Hand, Hip-Knee, Foot-Ankle, and Spine. All surgical activity is performed at Clinique Saint-Jean - Sud de France, a 'Cap Santé'-accredited facility with 26 ISO 5 sterile operating theaters, 24/7 CT and MRI radiology, emergency units, and on-site rehabilitation services. The group reports having operated on more than 90,000 patients cumulatively across its ~10-year history.

The clinical offering spans arthroscopy, minimally invasive and percutaneous surgery, robotic-assisted knee prosthesis placement, and endoscopic spine surgery — the latter having been pioneered in France by three of the group's spine surgeons in 2022. The group supports pre-operative consultation, surgical intervention, and post-operative follow-up, with dedicated emergency units across knee, shoulder, hand, spine, and ankle. Patient intake runs through Doctolib online booking, a telephone secretariat, and GP/specialist referrals. Marketing and brand-building are supported by social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube), educational content on surgical procedures, and the annual Rencontres Orthosud congress for clinicians and patients.

The revenue model is professional services and procedural fees billed to patients (and French social security / supplemental insurers) for surgical procedures and consultations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Geographic scope is regional, serving the Montpellier metropolitan area and broader Occitanie region. The practice is independently owned by its founding surgeons with no parent company or external investment disclosed; leadership includes Dr. Guillaume Lonjon (Responsable publication) and five founding partners (Jacques Teissier, Franck Lacaze, Christophe Farenq, Florent Buscayret, Wayan Hébrard). Clinical research and teaching are institutionalized via two research assistants and four specialist courses featuring live surgery.
