The Zdislava team has provided over 6,000 surgeries for treating patients with degenerative diseases of the large joints, of whom more than 700 are performed annually. More than 1,200 orthopedic operations are performed each year. Physicians have a surgical computer-aided navigation system and a wide range of the latest generation implants, with all types and sizes of implants from European companies being always available in the operating room: Zimmer-Biomet, Mathys, Lima and Johnson & Johnson (including ceramics).

Since most of the certified implants used in modern medicine are anatomically close to the natural joint structure, they have undergone decades of quality testing and all muscles remain intact and naturally embrace the new joint, the patient will get on their feet the day after the surgery.

During rehabilitation, the patient undergoes daily individual therapy sessions with a physiotherapist, practices walking with a nurse in the ward, undergoes active and passive training on equipment and massages according to the physician‘s recommendation.
