Expert Orthopedic Care

Dr. Marek Drobniewski is an active member of the Polish Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology. He focuses on restoring joint function through hip and knee replacement procedures.
Fast Pre-Operative Assessment
The clinic uses an on-site diagnostic center to speed up the surgical qualification process. This center provides all necessary imaging and tests in one location. Patients have access to several diagnostic tools:
- MRI and CT scans for detailed joint visualization
- X-ray imaging to assess bone structure and alignment
- Densitometry to check bone density levels
- Ultrasound for soft tissue evaluation
Surgery Preparation and Hospital Stay
The medical team provides a clear protocol to help patients prepare for the operation. You must finish all tests requested by your specialist before the surgery date. The day before, patients should follow a light diet and avoid carbonated drinks. The final meal is usually around 18:00, and specific medications like Espumisan may be advised. Patients arrive at the ward early on the day of the procedure to begin hospital care.
Recovery and Physiotherapy
Recovery starts immediately after surgery with specialized hospital care and follow-up visits. Salve Medica offers individualized physiotherapy programs to help patients regain mobility. These rehabilitation sessions can take place at the hospital, in the outpatient clinic, or even at home. This structured approach helps patients return to daily activities safely.
