Mario Bertoli
Total hip arthroplasty at Saint Zdislava Hospital in Velké Meziříčí, Czech Republic, costs €10,000 for a unilateral procedure. The package includes a ceramic implant, 7 nights in a private room, and airport transfers. Dr. Mario Bertoli, Head of Orthopedic Surgery with 19 years of experience, performs the surgery using a muscle-sparing technique.
Dr. Bertoli has completed over 1,500 hip replacements during his career. He uses minimally invasive anterior-laterosuperior approach. This method preserves muscle tissue and speeds recovery. The clinic stocks modern Zimmer-Biomet and Mathys implants on-site.
Implant Components
The hospital uses fully uncemented titanium-ceramic constructs. The press-fit cup comes from Allofit, Spotorno Zimmer, or Anexys Mathys systems. A highly cross-linked polyethylene liner sits inside. The titanium stem is either CLS Zimmer or CBS Mathys. A ceramic head from Ceramys Mathys provides maximum mobility and wear resistance.
