Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology
Head of the department - Giorgi Kvaratskhelia
The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology is equipped with a state-of-the-art operating block and instruments and equipment from the STORZ company. Endoprosthetics are performed using the latest modification of minimally invasive (less traumatic, tissue-sparing) implants of French and American manufacture, which reduce the size of the incision and the duration of the surgery, preserve the musculoskeletal system, and allow for patient activation within 8-10 hours after the surgery. This also reduces the need for blood transfusions due to lower blood loss.
The department has implemented endoscopic surgery with the latest generation of STORZ arthroscopic tools.
The Department performs:
- Shoulder joint endoprosthetics
- Hip joint (acetabulofemoral) endoprosthetics
- Knee joint endoprosthetics
- Correction of congenital deformities of the bone and joint system
Acquired Pathologies:
- Pes planus (flatfoot)
- Hallux valgus deformity
- Deformities of the phalanges of the hand and foot
- Non-union and malunion of fractures
- Osteosynthesis of limb bones
- Intramedullary osteosynthesis
- Plate osteosynthesis
- External fixator osteosynthesis
- Therapeutic and diagnostic arthroscopy
- Biopsy of uncertain pathological foci
- Removal of benign neoplastic formations
- Oncoprosthetics (shoulder, hip, knee joints)
Surgeries performed using minimally invasive methods and modern equipment are less traumatic for the patient. As a result, the postoperative period is easier to tolerate and less painful. The duration of the hospital stay is brief, and the patient returns to their normal routine in a relatively short time.
