About
Hakodate Orthopedic Clinic, operated by the Yukoukai Medical Corporation, is a specialized medical facility established in 2007 in Ishikawa-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido, focusing on knee joint diseases. Located approximately 10 minutes by car from JR Goryokaku Station, the clinic features a 90-space parking lot and barrier-free accessibility. The facility offers comprehensive treatment options ranging from outpatient care for knee pain to surgical interventions including total and partial knee arthroplasty, ligament reconstruction, and meniscus repair through arthroscopic procedures. Notably, the clinic houses one of Hokkaido's largest rehabilitation facilities, providing athletic rehabilitation programs designed to support patients' return to daily life and competitive sports following surgery. Since 2020, the clinic has expanded its services to include treatment for lifestyle-related diseases, addressing internal medical factors such as obesity that can contribute to knee joint conditions. The clinic is also committed to clinical research, conducting ongoing studies using optical motion capture technology for three-dimensional motion analysis. In collaboration with Hokkaido University Department of Orthopedics, the facility has contributed numerous presentations and publications to academic conferences. English language support is available, and the clinic operates on an appointment-based system to ensure thorough and attentive care.
