Hallux Valgus

It is a deformation of the big toe, often called a "bunion," which can cause a painful bump on the side of the foot. If left untreated, this deformation can lead to other pain and affect the other toes.

Hallux Rigidus

Hallux rigidus is a form of osteoarthritis affecting the big toe joint, causing stiffness and pain, even at rest. Over time, bony growths (osteophytes) may develop, making wearing shoes painful.

Hallux Rigidus

Hallux rigidus is the name given to primary osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, as well as between the head of the first metatarsal and its sesamoids.

Hallux Vallux

The most common deformity is HALLUX VALGUS (commonly called the "bunion"). It affects the first ray of the foot, where the phalanges are deviated outward and the first metatarsal (the long bone on the inner edge of the foot) is deviated inward.

Total Hip Arthroplasty

Hip wear is often associated with a reduction in joint range of motion (stiffness) and, most importantly, pain. Clinically, this manifests as limping, difficulty putting on shoes, and performing personal hygiene.

Total Knee Prosthesis

Your knee has a deformity or wear (called gonarthrosis) that requires replacement. Generally, the knee is replaced entirely, meaning both the femoral and tibial parts.

Hallux Valgus

When the deformation of the big toe gradually worsens, it is referred to as HALLUX VALGUS.
This deformation is often associated with a bony protrusion (called a "bunion") on the inner side of the foot. The deviation can cause pain, discomfort when wearing shoes, and, over time, a deterioration in quality of life.

Hallux Rigidus

When osteoarthritis occurs in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, it is called HALLUX RIGIDUS. This condition involves bony growths around the affected joint, causing an increase in joint volume and pain due to friction when wearing shoes.

Dr. Paul Mielcarek's Career Path

After studying medicine at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris VI, I did my internship at the Lille University Hospital for 5 years. During this period, I had the opportunity to do a 6-month internship in Nouméa, New Caledonia, and a 6-month internship at Strasbourg University Hospital. It was this latter stay that enabled me to join the department of my mentor, Professor Jean-François Kempf, as Head of Clinic. He greatly contributed to my integration in our beautiful Alsace, which I've loved so much for over 20 years now. With him, I learned shoulder surgery, particularly arthroscopic surgery, as well as lower limb surgery. Little by little, my professional and intellectual affinities and opportunities led me to develop foot surgery and, in particular, to deepen my knowledge of non-fixed percutaneous osteotomy techniques, which I still practise today.

My Career in Private Surgery

My transition to private surgery, first at Sainte Odile Clinic and then at Rhéna Clinic, allowed me to spread my wings under the guidance of my associates Drs. Pierre Henky (now retired), Daniel Nérisson, Eric Rinn, and Gauthier Dillmann.

My Specialization in Lower Limb Surgery

Over time, I gradually moved away from shoulder surgery to focus exclusively on lower limb surgery. Today, I am highly specialized in foot surgery, but I maintain an active interest in hip and knee prosthetic surgery, as well as arthroscopic surgery, including ligament surgery of the knee and ankle.

My Multidisciplinary Approach

I chose not to confine myself to a single joint-focused practice in order to continue growing intellectually and maintain expertise in both open and minimally invasive surgery. This enables me to handle the many unexpected challenges faced by a surgeon dedicated to treating patients with commitment, precision, and empathy.

Dr. Paul Mielcarek's Career Path

Rhéna Clinic - Strasbourg

After studying medicine at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, I completed my residency at the Lille University Hospital (CHU) over a period of five years. During this time, I had the opportunity to complete a six-month internship in Nouméa, New Caledonia, and another six months at the Strasbourg University Hospital (CHU). It was this last experience that allowed me to join, as Chief of Clinic, the department of Professor Jean-François Kempf, my mentor. He played a significant role in my integration into the beautiful Alsace region, which I have cherished for over 20 years now. Under his guidance, I learned shoulder surgery, particularly arthroscopic techniques, as well as lower limb surgery. Gradually, my professional and intellectual affinities and opportunities led me to develop foot surgery and to further refine the techniques of unfixed percutaneous osteotomies, which I continue to practice to this day.
Mon installation en chirurgie libérale d’abord à la clinique Sainte Odile puis à la clinique Rhéna, m’a permis de voler de mes propres ailes avec la bienveillance de mes associés les Drs Pierre Henky (désormais retraité), Daniel Nérisson et Eric Rinn. J’ai peu à peu abandonné la chirurgie de l’épaule pour ne pratiquer plus que la chirurgie du membre inférieur. Ainsi, j’ai aujourd’hui une forte spécialisation dans la chirurgie du pied mais je garde une activité volontaire dans le chirurgie prothétique de la hanche et du genou ainsi qu’en chirurgie arthroscopique du genou et de la cheville. J’ai fait ce choix de ne pas m’enfermer dans une activité mono-articulaire afin de continuer à m’épanouir intellectuellement et de garder une aisance autant dans la chirurgie ouverte qu’en chirurgie mini-invasive, me permettant de palier aux nombreux imprévus qui attendent le chirurgien qui soigne ses patients avec implication, précision et empathie.
