Prof. Philippe NEYRET M.D.
Having received his training by Albert TRILLAT and being a former student of Henri DEJOUR, it was quite natural that in 1988 he devoted his activity on knee surgery. He was nominated professor at the University of Lyon in 1994, and is head of the department at the Centre Livet since 1996.
His main activity is clinical. He treats an equal number of sports lesions and degenerative pathologies of the knee. The many publications, books, CD-Roms reflect this clinical research activity. For his work on the results after meniscectomy, he received the “John Joyce Award” by International Arthroscopy in 1989. In 1995 he participated in the ESSKA-AOSSM “Traveling Fellowship”. His participation during the “7ème journées lyonnaises de chirurgie du genou” dedicated to the degenerative knee and the “9ème Journées” dedicated to the total knee arthroplasty shows his great interest for the degenerative pathology of the knee.
As a professor, he is responsible for three academic formations in France.
He is member of several medical societies and is an active participant in the SOFCOT, ESSKA 2000 and ISAKOS. He is also a member of the “ACL Study Group”,” PCL Study Group” and the “Patellar femoral study group”.
