Dr Alexandre Kilinc, hand surgeon

An orthopaedic surgeon, I devote my practice to upper limb surgery: hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and peripheral nerves.

Qualified in orthopaedic and trauma surgery, I specialised in upper limb conditions during a senior registrar post at Saint-Antoine University Hospital in Paris. I also hold qualifications in microsurgery and in the management of peripheral nerve disorders of the upper limb.

My practice favours minimally invasive techniques: endoscopy for carpal tunnel release, arthroscopy for the elbow and shoulder joints.

I consult and operate at two sites: the Clinique Jouvenet in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, and the Hôpital Privé Claude Galien in Quincy-sous-Sénart.

Appointments can be booked online through Doctolib, or by telephone at the Clinique Jouvenet in Paris or the Hôpital Privé Claude Galien in Quincy-sous-Sénart.

Do I need a referral letter?

A referral from your general practitioner is part of the French coordinated care pathway and determines the level of reimbursement. It also allows relevant information to be passed on, including nerve conduction studies if already performed.

What should I bring to the first consultation?

Your health insurance card, your referral letter, and all investigations already carried out: nerve conduction studies, X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, and operative reports of any previous surgery.

Are consultations available in English?

Yes. Consultations can be conducted in English, and this page set is provided in English for that reason.
