About us Prof. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Andrej M. Nowakowski

With extensive experience in conservative therapies, arthroscopic surgery and minimally invasive procedures for primary joint replacement, Prof. Dr. Dr. Andrej M. Nowakowski specializes in joint-preserving procedures, minimally invasive implantation of hip prostheses for complex anatomical deformities, replacement operations for hip prostheses, the treatment of infections and pseudarthrosis as well as the treatment of hip and pelvic injuries. His expertise also includes reconstruction following tumor removal and the use of innovative technologies to treat severe bone defects.

Known for his patient-centered approach and his ability to solve even the most complex medical challenges, Prof. Dr. Dr. Nowakowski enjoys international recognition for his expertise in hip arthroplasty. His impressive career is characterized by a diverse background: After studying mechanical engineering in Munich as part of an officer's career, he discovered his passion for medical technology and biomedicine and began studying medicine at Hanover Medical School at the age of 28, which he financed in parallel with working in an engineering office and as a basketball player. During his studies, he registered patents for the optimization of artificial joints and also obtained a PhD in biomedical engineering at the University of Basel. After working in Basel and Hanover, he worked as a senior physician at the University Hospital Basel from 2011 to 2017, where he specialized in hip and pelvic surgery as well as tumor and infector orthopedics. He then took on the position of Chief Physician at Uster Hospital before returning to Baselland Cantonal Hospital (KSBL) as Chief Physician for Orthopedics and Traumatology in 2020.

Since January 2025, Prof. Dr. med. Nowakowski, together with Prof. Dr. med. Michael Hirschmann, an expert in knee surgery, has held the clinical professorship for orthopedics and biomechanics at the University of Basel at KSBL as part of a “shared professorship”. This close link between university research and clinical practice enables the development and application of innovative treatment methods. At KSBL, with sites in Liestal, Bruderholz and the Outpatient Health Centre Laufen, Prof. Dr. Dr. Nowakowski and his team guarantee excellent care in hip surgery and endoprosthetics - from diagnostics to rehabilitation. The Bruderholz site in particular implements an interdisciplinary care concept that combines intensive care, rehabilitation and nursing under one roof. His focus on innovation and patient well-being is reflected in his efforts not only to provide the best possible medical care, but also to use the latest technologies and gentle procedures. Through the interplay of engineers' thinking and medical expertise, Prof. Dr. Nowakowski stands out as an outstanding specialist in hip surgery. With his commitment and expertise, he strengthens KSBL's position as a leading and now also university center for orthopedics and traumatology in Switzerland and beyond.

Diagnostic Services
  • After a detailed assessment and review of the medical history, a thorough specialist examination is carried out.
  • If necessary, classical X-rays are supplemented by additional sectional imaging, such as CT including 3D reconstruction or MRI. Furthermore, highly specialised examination methods can be used, e.g. SPECT-CT, PET, MARS-MRI, antigranulocyte scintigraphy. Finally, diagnostic/therapeutic joint infiltrations/punctures can also contribute to the reliable delimitation of the diagnosis.
