What Solbjerg Klinik does

Solbjerg Klinik is a privately-held orthopedic specialty clinic headquartered at Rolighedsvej 8 in Frederiksberg (Copenhagen), Denmark, founded in 2008 by orthopedic surgeon Nikolaj Rindom and operated as a Danish I/S partnership (Solbjerg Klinik - Frederiksberg I/S). The clinic focuses exclusively on extremities — knee, hand, foot, and elbow — providing both diagnostic and surgical services for musculoskeletal conditions. Its diagnostic capability is built around an on-site open MRI scanner specialized for extremity and lumbar spine imaging, complemented by ultrasound. Surgical scope includes meniscus and ligament repair, trigger finger and carpal tunnel release, bunion and hammertoe correction, and treatment of nerve compression and tendinopathies, all performed as outpatient procedures. The clinic sees approximately 4,000 patients and performs approximately 1,000 operations annually, supported by a single lead surgeon, three nurses, and one social-and-health assistant, with the founder maintaining full ownership and operational control.

The business operates a multi-channel revenue model. Insured patients are the primary commercial channel: the clinic holds direct agreements with five major Danish health insurers (PFA Sundhedsforsikring, Dansk Sundhedssikring, Danica Pension, Top Danmark, AP Pension), and patients are also eligible for Sygeforsikring danmark subsidies. Public-sector patients arrive via GP (egen læge) referrals routed through the regional healthcare system, while self-pay private patients can self-refer directly, paying out-of-pocket for examinations, treatments, and second opinions. Go-to-market is sales-led through phone booking, supplemented by an event-driven motion built on long-term team-physician relationships with København Håndbold, AG København Håndbold (since 2010), the Danish Women's National Handball Team (2018-2020), and the Spillerforeningen af Professionelle Fodboldspillere (since 2009), plus membership in the FIFA Medical Network. Distribution is direct, with no intermediaries; marketing is largely passive, anchored by the website (solbjergklinik.dk) and a 24/7 acute phone line.

The clinic operates from a single hospital-grade renovated facility and holds no proprietary software, digital products, or AI/ML capabilities. Quality assurance is documented through a positive November 2021 Danish Health Authority (Sundhedsstyrelsen) inspection under the DDKM framework. There are no external investors, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no expansion beyond the Frederiksberg site, with service area effectively limited to the Capital Region of Denmark.
