Hip replacement | All inclusive price

Total hip replacement at Saint Zdislava Hospital in Velké Meziříčí, Czech Republic, costs €10,000. The comprehensive package includes surgery, implants, 7-day hospitalization, and rehabilitation. Dr. Mario Bertoli, an orthopedic surgeon with 9 years of experience, leads the department and has performed over 2,300 successful surgeries.

The hospital specializes in minimally invasive hip replacement using the Anterior Lateral Approach. This technique preserves muscles and tendons during surgery. The procedure takes about 60 minutes under general anesthesia.

Implants and Components

The hospital stocks implants from leading European manufacturers. Brands include Zimmer-Biomet, Mathys, Lima, and Johnson & Johnson. All implants are uncemented for better long-term stability.

The standard implant includes a press-fit cup (Allofit or Spotorno). A high-molecular-weight polyethylene liner provides smooth movement. The ceramic femoral head is larger than standard to maximize range of motion. The titanium stem (CLS or CBS) ensures durability.

For patients with bone defects, a revision cup may be needed. The Trabecular Metal system costs €12,500. The surgeon selects the final implant during surgery based on bone quality and patient age.
