The Orthopedic Department of Nemocnice Na Františku, renowned for its excellent care, has reduced waiting times for the most sought-after surgical procedures, such as arthroscopies and total joint replacements.
“We are able to perform arthroscopic procedures within two to three weeks of a patient's visit to our outpatient clinic, total endoprostheses of hip, knee, and shoulder joints within four months, and other planned procedures within one to two months,” enumerates the Head of Orthopedics, MUDr. Miroslav Sinkule.
Patients have access to comprehensive diagnostic services directly at the hospital, including X-ray, sonography, and CT, complemented by subsequent inpatient rehabilitation care for more effective recovery. With modern operating theaters and an inpatient ward, the orthopedic department provides top-tier care, popular not only among elite athletes.
The department also specializes in advanced joint replacement methods. For slender patients, when medically indicated, a gentle hip joint replacement can be performed using a minimally invasive technique. For the shoulder joint, where appropriate, resurfacing can be performed to restore the surface of the humeral head.
Among the most frequently performed arthroscopic procedures are operations on the shoulder, elbow, ankle, and knee joints, particularly meniscus treatments, cruciate ligament reconstructions, and cartilage repair. These procedures are also performed minimally invasively as part of one-day care.
Patients can schedule a consultation for a surgical procedure at the orthopedic outpatient clinic by calling 222 801 301 on weekdays from 8 AM to 2 PM. More information about the services provided can be found on the website www.nnfp.cz.
