Knee replacement surgery

If you are considering Knee replacement surgery in Croatia, here you’ll find all details regarding your procedure and rehabilitation.

KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

• Total knee replacement ops are carried out on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the patients are released byThursday or Friday of the same week. First day post op, our in-house physiotherapist starts basic physiotherapy with the patient – walking with the aid of 2 crutches.

• The following program has been designed for overseas patients:

Arrival at Zagreb airport on a Wednesday where our staff collect the patients and transfer them to the pre-booked accommodation. On Thursday the patient is taken to the local Thalassotherapy – center for physiotherapy for cardio, blood and other tests. Same day or on Friday the patient will be brought to our orthopedic Hospital for x-ray and orthopedic examination. Assuming all tests are negative, the patient stays at the pre-booked accommodation until Sunday evening when she’ll be brought back again to our Hospital. As I mentioned before, you’ll be on the op program for Monday or Tuesday.
