About Clinique Paris Lilas
Clinique Paris Lilas is a specialist centre for orthopaedic surgery and sports traumatology located at 41-49 Avenue du Marechal Juin in Les Lilas. With a strong reputation for surgical excellence, the clinic brings together leading practitioners across multiple musculoskeletal and neurosurgical disciplines under one roof.
The facility features modern operating suites equipped with high-definition operative microscopes, fluoroscopic guidance systems, and minimally invasive surgical instrumentation. These technologies allow Dr Dimitriu to perform precise spinal procedures with smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery.
One of the key advantages of Clinique Paris Lilas is its exceptional accessibility. The clinic is located just steps from the Mairie des Lilas metro station (line 11), making it one of the most convenient surgical facilities for patients coming from central and eastern Paris. The proximity to the metro eliminates the need for car travel and parking, a significant benefit for patients attending pre- and post-operative appointments.
Conditions treated
At Clinique Paris Lilas, Dr Dimitriu manages the complete range of spinal pathologies, from common degenerative conditions to complex structural abnormalities. Conditions frequently treated include:
- Lumbar disc herniation with sciatica or femoral nerve pain
- Cervical disc herniation and cervicobrachial neuralgia
- Lumbar spinal stenosis causing neurogenic claudication
- Cervical myelopathy
- Spondylolisthesis
- Chronic low back pain and disc degeneration
- Vertebral fractures and spinal trauma
Surgical procedures performed on site include minimally invasive microdiscectomy, lumbar and cervical decompression, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF/PLIF), and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. Dr Dimitriu systematically evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate treatment, prioritising conservative management when possible and recommending surgery only when it is clearly indicated.

Clinique Paris Lilas offers outstanding public transport accessibility. The clinic is located a short walk from Mairie des Lilas metro station on line 11, providing a direct connection to central Paris (Chatelet, Hotel de Ville, Republique).
