The Orthopedics and Traumatology Department is considered as the main one in the Medical Center. Orthopedists carry out the replacements of the hip, knee and shoulder joints.

How are joint replacements performed?

Most operations are minimally invasive and are performed through a small incision in the skin (about 6-10 cm). The duration of the surgery is 1 hour.

During the procedure, the ligaments are not damaged. That’s why the recovery period takes 1-2 weeks.

Doctors of the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department specialize in arthroscopic diagnostics and operations. Procedures are performed using optical and microsurgical instruments through punctures of up to 2 cm.

When is arthroscopy used?

• for examination of joint pathologies. It increases the accuracy of the diagnosis up to 100%;
• for the removal of the knee meniscus;
• for surgery of benign tumors of the shoulder, knee, and elbow;
• for the arthroplasty of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.

The Department of Hand and Hand Surgery includes 5 specialists. They perform microsurgical interventions to treat:

• carpal tunnel syndrome;
• Dupuytren's contracture;
• Nott's disease;
• tumors.
