Department of Trauma Surgery and Orthopedics

The department is divided into two sections, for trauma surgery and orthopedics.

In the Trauma Surgery section, we treat injuries of the musculoskeletal system, chest, abdomen, and spine, not only from our own Nitra region but also from the Zlaté Moravce and Šaľa districts. From the Topoľčany and Levice districts, we take over the most severe injuries and also provide consultation services there. In terms of population, this is the largest catchment area in Slovakia.

At the supraregional level, we provide treatment for spinal and spinal cord injuries for patients from the Nitra, Trnava, and Trenčín regions. We also perform spinal procedures that are not routinely carried out elsewhere. These include fracture stabilizations, complete vertebral body replacements of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine in cases of deformity, corrective surgery for pathological vertebral displacement (spondylolisthesis), and treatment of age-related vertebral fractures using vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.

At the department, we treat all types of pediatric fractures and perform complex surgeries for post-traumatic deformities of the limbs and legs. For these procedures, we use the most advanced implants and modern surgical techniques.

The orthopedic team of our physicians deals with degenerative, inflammatory, tumor-related, and congenital disorders of the musculoskeletal system in both children and adults. We routinely perform primary and revision total replacements of the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow joints.

Our basic procedures include:

• arthroscopic reconstruction of the knee’s cruciate ligaments

• treatment of the meniscus and knee cartilage

• arthroscopic shoulder stabilization and reconstruction of rotator cuff tears

• arthroscopy of the ankle and wrist joint

As part of day surgery, we perform operations for toe deformities – bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes, flat feet, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other procedures.
