Chirurgie orthopédique et traumatologie de l'appareil locomoteur

Orthopédie pédiatrique

Prof André J. Kaelin

Diplômé de la Faculté de médecine de Genève en 1975, le Professeur André J. Kaelin obtient sa thèse de doctorat en 1985 et celle de privat docent en 1992 à l’Université de Genève.

Après une formation en orthopédie et chirurgie pédiatrique, il a été Fellow à l’Hôpital Trousseau à Paris puis Research et Clinical Fellow au Children’s Hospital de la Harvard Medical School de Boston et enfin Fellow à l’Alfred I. duPont Institute de Wilmington (DE).

De 1987 à 2011, il a développé le Service d’orthopédie pédiatrique HUG et en est devenu le premier chef de service et professeur jusqu’à sa retraite en décembre 2011.
Il est également consultant pour la chirurgie spinale dans le cadre du Service d’Orthopédie des HUG.

Le Professeur A. Kaelin a été Président du Groupe Suisse d’Orthopédie Pédiatrique, de Swiss Orthopedics, de l’European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society et de la Société Suisse de Chirurgie du Rachis.

Il siège dans des comités de rédaction de revues d’orthopédie pédiatrique et du rachis.

Son intérêt scientifique concerne les affections de la colonne dans l’enfance, la sécurité dans la chirurgie spinale, les traumatismes et tumeurs de l’enfant, et les affections du dos de l’adulte.

Le professeur A. Kaelin participe à des activités humanitaires dans des pays en voie de développement.

Actuellement, il est actif en tant que consultant à Geneva Orthopedics au sein de la Clinique des Grangettes à Genève.
