Our aim is to give the patients the best possible medical treatment.

We care for patients with the following conditions or injuries:

  • Joint osteoarthritis
  • Hip and knee replacements
  • Failed joint replacement
  • Infected bone and joints, periprosthetic joint infection
  • Femoral neck, proximal femur fractures
  • Sport injuries (meniscus tears, ACL/ PCL ruptures)
  • Hip Impingement syndrome, labral tears
  • Knee, hip deformities

Our department concentrates on the care of patients with major joint arthritis and receives patient referrals throughout Ukraine, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Common surgical procedures include total hip replacement, total knee replacement, osteotomy for realignment of extremities and hip, knee and shoulder arthroscopies.

The department frequently employs revision total joint replacements and one-, two-stage revision procedures for infection cases. We use modern cementless, cemened implants (Zimmer, DePuy, Smith and Nephew, Aesculap, W.Link, Mathys), auto-, allografts when medically indicated. The department also offers joint preservation and reconstructive surgeries of the knee and hip. The program is designed to maximize the function of native joints and to potentially prevent or delay the ultimate need for total joint arthroplasty.
