The Team

The preoperative assessment is not a formality. It includes cardiological and internal medicine assessment, laboratory tests, adjustment of anticoagulant and other medication, assessment of the risk of thrombosis and infection, and planning of the anaesthesia. At the same time, the surgical planning is carried out on the basis of the imaging: size and type of implants, restoration of leg length, anticipation of possible difficulties.

The same team of surgeons, anaesthetists and scrub nurses works together on every case. It is this continuity that makes the difference in operating time, blood loss and complication rates. Fast-track recovery protocols are applied: multimodal analgesia instead of high doses of opioids, avoidance of drains and urinary catheters where they are not needed, and control of temperature and fluids.

Mobilisation begins on the same day as the surgery, with a physiotherapist at the patient’s side. Before discharge, written instructions are given: exercise programme, use of walking aids, wound care, anticoagulant medication, and warning signs for which you should contact us immediately. Follow-up continues with scheduled visits and radiographic checks, because a joint replacement needs monitoring for as many years as it is in use.
