The Orthopaedic Clinic performs the full range of orthopaedic procedures and, following the advanced training of its physicians abroad, also undertakes specialised surgeries using modern minimally invasive techniques for injuries and fractures of the limbs, spine and pelvis, as well as hip, knee, shoulder and elbow arthroplasties.
They operate on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and on Thursday afternoons. AN APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED.

The clinic operates an arthroscopy unit performing knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip and ankle arthroscopies for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and degenerative conditions of tendons, ligaments and other anatomical structures.
For the past fifteen years, the clinic has utilised minimally invasive anterior (AMIS) and anterolateral (ALMIS) approaches for hip arthroplasty, achieving a large number of successful procedures. This technique is considered the most modern, minimally traumatic and safest hip replacement method for patients.
In total knee arthroplasty, the clinic applies the minimally invasive quadriceps-sparing technique (MIS-Quadriceps sparing), and was the first public-sector clinic in which total knee arthroplasty with computer navigation was implemented.
The clinic also performs spinal surgery using minimally invasive techniques such as percutaneous spinal fusion, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty and endoscopic spine procedures.
There is extensive experience in circular external fixation – Ilizarov techniques for fractures, infections and deformity correction (e.g., limb length discrepancy, varus/valgus deformities).
Finally, the clinic applies biological treatment methods for injuries and degenerative conditions (e.g., PRP – platelet-rich plasma, stem cells), as well as percutaneous interventional pain management of the spine, pelvis and extremities (therapeutic injections, RF – radiofrequency ablation).
