General information

World tendency not only in orthopedics, but in many other surgical specialties, is the operations to be performed with minimal trauma for the patient and fast post-operative recovery.

The department of orthopedics and traumatology offers complex treatment by:

• Sport injuries and damage
• Inflammation to the  musculoskeletal system
• Fractures
• Bone deformations
• Joint damage (cartilage damage, arthrosis)

Besides the more conservative methods of treatment and traditional operating techniques our department of orthopedics practices arthroscopic surgery with priority. Performing arthroscopy on ankles, knees, hips, elbows, shoulders.

Arthroscopic surgeries performed at VITA:

• Ankles
• Knees
• Hip Joint
• Elbow
• Shoulder

In the last few years the focus in orthopedics shifted towards conserving the joints for as long as possible (instead of an endoprosthesis replacement). Different methods are being applied to make this possible (hondroplastic, osteotomy, hyaluronic acid and others).

Computer-aided surgery:

• Surgical treatment of bone deformities (congenital and acquired after poorly healed fractures) through 3D computer modeling;
• Selective osteoinduction - an innovative surgical method for aseptic necrosis and fractures of the hip joint, through which it is possible to avoid joint replacement.
