Internationally recognised expertise

For more than 20 years, Dr Collin has devoted his practice exclusively to shoulder surgery. President of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and the Elbow, he is ranked number 1 in Paris and among the best shoulder surgeons in France by Le Point magazine. This expertise attracts patients from all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, seeking the highest standard of care for their shoulder conditions.

Shoulder conditions treated

Dr Collin treats the full range of shoulder conditions. Rotator cuff tears are among the most frequent: this tendon injury requires advanced surgical expertise. Shoulder replacement, whether anatomic or reverse, is his core area of specialisation. These procedures have advanced considerably in recent years and now deliver excellent functional results with relatively rapid rehabilitation.

• Saudi patients can also consult for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, a painful condition whose natural course may sometimes require intervention,
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is another frequent condition, marked by pain and progressive stiffness of the joint,
• Finally, recurrent shoulder dislocations, particularly in young and athletic patients, benefit from specialised surgical treatment (Latarjet, Bankart). Dr Collin also operates on international-level footballers playing for leading European clubs.

Committed to research and teaching

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr Collin is deeply involved in research and teaching. He has trained dozens of international surgeons and regularly publishes his work in PubMed-indexed scientific journals. He is also invited throughout the year to lecture at conferences around the world.

Bespoke care for patients from Saudi Arabia

For patients travelling from Saudi Arabia, a dedicated international patient coordinator supports you in Arabic, English and French: remote review of your medical records, a video consultation with Dr Collin, a detailed and transparent quote before you travel, and full organisation of appointments and accommodation. Surgery takes place at the American Hospital of Paris — the only civilian hospital outside the United States accredited by the Joint Commission — and at Clinique Victor Hugo, 200 metres from Place de l'Étoile. Daily direct flights connect Riyadh and Jeddah to Paris, so your care pathway can be organised within days.
