Orthopaedics is a medical speciality that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and injuries of the locomotor system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This speciality covers a wide range of problems and conditions, from joint and bone injuries to degenerative diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orthopedists use different diagnostic methods to determine the nature and severity of the problem. These include X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), multi-layer computed tomography (MSCT), ultrasound and clinical examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Medico Special Hospital, we take an individual approach, which specifically leads to diagnosis and in conversation with the patient we arrange further treatment, taking into account his individual characteristics, clinical characteristics and life needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orthopaedics is constantly evolving thanks to the advancement of technology. In the entire range of treatment options for diseases and disorders of the locomotor system at Specialty Hospital Medico, we perform minimally invasive surgical procedures for shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle arthroscopies, as well as reconstruction of tendons, anterior cruciate ligaments, meniscus, shoulder, tennis elbow operations, as well as surgical correction of all deformities of feet and toes and bunions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medico Special Hospital has significantly enriched the offer of surgical services in the field of orthopaedics, as well as its orthopaedic team, which also applies the most modern treatment methods in the field of regenerative medicine, i.e. orthobiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regenerative medicine is aimed at developing new ways of treating tissues and organs that stimulate i.e. use the natural abilities of regeneration (recovery) of the human body. The aim of this treatment is to restore the lost function of the affected tissue or organ that is caused by ageing, disease or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orthobiology, as part of regenerative medicine, uses biological (natural) substances found in the human body to help treat diseases of the locomotor system. To put it simply, biological drugs applied in orthobiology interact with the human body’s own cells and tissues to stimulate healing mechanisms in various orthopaedic diseases, including parts of the musculoskeletal system that are poorly regenerated or healed by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Specialty Hospital Medico , all the state-of-the-art options for orthobiological treatment are available to our patients.<\/p>\n\n\n
Hyaluronic acid is a large highly elastic glycosaminoglycan molecule that is naturally found in synovial (intra-articular) fluid and cartilage. It stimulates the regeneration of the joint cartilage, performs the function of lubrication and amortizes the force during movement, as well as offers protection of the surface layer of the joint cartilage. Its use reduces pain, improves joint mobility, and may also prolong the need for surgical treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) therapy Autologoous conditoned plasma is a platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) that is widely used in regenerative medicine today.<\/p>\n
Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s own blood and helps restore and recover acutely damaged tissues, as well as chronically damaged tissues due to the ageing process (degeneration). PRP therapy can prevent the development of new damage and reduce the possibility of repeated injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
Stem cells are known to have multiple functions in restoring or regenerating diseased tissue. The most important thing is the restoration of damaged tissue and anti-inflammatory action, that is real treatment with the aim of achieving the condition as it was before the disease. This therapy is most often used in patients who have arthrosis or osteoarthritis of one or more joints and in degenerative diseases of the spine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
The use of corticosteroids is not one of the most modern methods of treatment offered by orthobiology, but we list them here because of their wide application in orthopaedics. In the form of local injections, the so-called “blockade” has been applied since the 1950s. “Bloclade” is an injection consisting of a short-acting anaesthetic that removes pain and a long-acting corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory effects in the short term. The goal of this treatment is to reduce pain, swelling and increase mobility.<\/p>\n
After the applied orthobiological therapy, many patients cite improvement within a few days, but it is important to emphasize that the effect of regenerative therapy takes time, since the body is literally renewed. The full effect is usually achieved after two to four months from the start of the orthobiological treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
