What does the diagnostic management involve?

Depending on your needs, the diagnostic process will include 1-2 orthopaedic consultations.

1st consultation – diagnostic examination.

Medical history, clinical assessment, ultrasound scan (the same centre, the same day), x-ray (the same centre, the same day) – the reports are assessed by the orthopaedist on the same day.

If additional diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, CT, blood tests etc. are necessary, the reports will be discussed with you during the 2nd consultation.

2nd consultation – final diagnosis. Eligibility assessment for treatment/ surgery.

The final diagnosis is made based on test results.

You will be offered available treatment options, which match your needs:

– Regenerative Treatments and/or Surgery

You will be given resources (leaflets etc.), full information and knowledge of the recommended comprehensive treatment plan. Your consultant will ensure you have enough information and understand it, so as to choose optimum treatment. We educate and empower patients by ensuring their awareness and active participation.

During the second appointment, your consultant will discuss with you the recommended prevention or joint treatment program and potential follow up check-ups.

The task is to provide comprehensive medical care of your locomotor system. Our medical solutions are safe, innovative and effective.

We would like the joint rejuvenation philosophy to become embedded in a lifestyle of self-aware and active individuals and their orthopaedic treatment.
