About Tom Patt, MD, PhD, Orthopedic Surgeon

Since his first steps in his career into orthopedics in the mountains of St. Moritz, Switzerland, Tom is fascinated by this small, but cruciate ligament, which has a size of just a bit more than 1 inch (about 2,5 - 3cm).

Tom Patt was trained in Switzerland and The Netherlands, with Dr AU Urfer (St Moritz, CH), Dr P Burkart (Luzern, CH), Professor W Mueller, Prof N. Friederich (Basel, CH), Prof. RK Marti (Amsterdam, NL) & dr. Marcel Driessen (Delft, NL).

He has headed a private orthopedic clinic in Delft, The Netherlands since 2014. Tom’s professional interests are sports knee surgery, and he has specialised in mainly arthroscopic knee interventions.

Since 2010, his other real orthopaedic passion has been prevention of knee lesions in children and adolescents. In this context he is vice president of ESMA/ESSKA (2022-24) and leads the workgroup for prevention, the GUARDIANS of the ACL (a subgroup of the ACL study group), as well as being member of other European organisations such as the German Knee Society.

Tom is often invited to speak at national and international meetings, in 2022 i.e. Estepona (Spain), Vilnius (Lithuania), Szczecin (Poland) and Faro (Portugal).
