Arthrosis treatment
Arthrosis is not just the wear and tear of cartilage; it also involves the simultaneous affliction of the adjacent bone. Currently, treatment options for arthrosis are expanding to include further modalities, such as the use of an external apparatus for cartilage regeneration or intraosseous injections to strengthen and regenerate the bone beneath the affected cartilage.
Foot and ankle
The ankle and foot are among the most complex structures of our musculoskeletal system. Therefore, treating their conditions requires specialized knowledge and skills. For this reason, the specialization of foot and ankle surgery has developed within orthopedics. Experts in this field must have precise knowledge of the anatomy, function, and pathological states of individual parts of the foot and ankle to provide the best possible help to their patients.
What orthopedic issues are you facing?

Shoulder
Are you suffering from shoulder joint instability, bone defects, tendon damage, shoulder osteoarthritis, or unspecifiable shoulder pain?

Elbow
Do you need help with tennis or golfer’s elbow, are you struggling with elbow stiffness, rheumatism, rotational stiffness, or any other elbow condition?

Lumbar spine

Hand and wrist

Knee
Are you addressing knee joint injuries – menisci, cartilage, or ligaments, or are you troubled by developmental or post-traumatic changes or osteoarthritis?

Foot and ankle
Are you limited by foot conditions such as deformities, wear and tear, flat feet, Achilles tendon problems, instability, post-traumatic states, and more?
How can we help you in the field of surgery?

Hernia
Do you feel burning or stinging pain in the lower abdomen, navel, or groin area?

Soft Tissue Tumors
Have you felt a lump or swelling in the subcutaneous tissue or muscles?

Varicose veins
Do you have enlarged and twisted blue veins usually visible on the calves and thighs, accompanied by feelings of heavy, tired, and tense legs?

Hemorrhoids
Are you experiencing rectal pain, swelling in the surrounding area, itching or burning, or possibly bleeding or discharge from the rectum?

Benign breast tumors
Have you noticed a well-defined, mobile, and firm lump in the breast area?

Non-acute appendectomy
Are you troubled by long-term, intermittent, or mild pain in the lower right abdomen?

Non-acute gallbladder surgery
Do you have digestive problems, intolerance to certain foods, bloating, diarrhea, gallbladder pain, or other discomforts in that area?
Foot Anatomy
The foot is a very complex structure consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These structures work together harmoniously to enable walking, running, and jumping.
Forefoot
Metatarsus
Hindfoot
Ankle Joint
The complex structure of the foot requires detailed knowledge of its anatomy and function to accurately diagnose and effectively treat conditions. Each area of the foot can have specific problems that need to be addressed individually.
Diagnostics of Foot and Ankle Disorders
How is a diagnosis made?
Diagnostics of ankle and foot disorders are based on a thorough clinical examination and X-rays, including specialized imaging methods. Supporting diagnostic methods include:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Scintigraphy
- Podoscopy
Are you looking for an orthopedist who specializes in foot surgery?
Conservative Treatment
Many ankle and foot conditions can be treated conservatively. Both traditional methods and state-of-the-art procedures are used.
- Insoles: Custom orthopedic insoles can reduce foot strain and correct improper positioning.
- Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises and physiotherapy help strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
- Medication: Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs can alleviate symptoms.
- Laser Therapy: This modern method uses light energy to promote healing and reduce pain.
- Shockwave Therapy: High-energy sound waves are used to promote tissue healing.
Surgical Treatment
However, a significant portion of these conditions requires surgical intervention. Here, the experience of a specialized orthopedist in the field of foot surgery is decisive.
- Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure on the ankle joint where a camera and instruments are inserted through small incisions to repair damage.
- Osteotomy: Corrective bone surgery to fix deformities.
- Fusion (Arthrodesis): Joint stiffening for severe osteoarthritis to relieve pain and increase stability.
- Tendon Surgery: Repair or relocation of tendons to restore their function.
- Prostheses: In severe cases, it may be necessary to replace the ankle joint with a prosthesis.
- Diabetic Foot Surgery: Specialized procedures for treating ulcers and infections in diabetic patients.
The choice of treatment method is always individual, based on a thorough diagnosis and taking into account the specific needs of each patient.
Whom have we already helped with their pain?
“We would like to especially highlight the highly professional and human approach of Professor Hart. After carbon monoxide poisoning, which severely damaged Nelka’s legs, it was very difficult to find a specialist who would take on her treatment. Dr. Hart was engaged and helpful throughout the therapy, explaining everything in detail and keeping us informed. The hospital where Nelka was treated was excellently equipped – as was the entire service. Although doctors initially gave us little hope, Nelka was eventually able to leave her wheelchair and is walking again today. We can only warmly recommend Professor Hart.”
Jakub Kollár
“Dr. Hart is an excellent orthopedic specialist who helped me greatly with my health problems. He takes time for the patient, does not rush, and is very empathetic and patient. I can recommend him without reservation.”
Dasa Zendelji
“I can only recommend Univ.-Prof. Dr. R. Hart, PhD, FRCS, MHA – he possesses extensive expertise and, above all, proposed a realistic solution based on the actual situation.”
Pavel Sima
“Professor Hart is an excellent orthopedist and, above all, a very experienced surgeon. No one was able to help me with my knee problems – until Professor Hart took over the case. He performed a meniscus transplant in one knee, a procedure that very few specialists master. In the other knee, he repaired cartilage damage on the kneecap using synthetic material. He is very helpful, explains everything clearly, and always finds a solution. With him, one is in the best hands. I absolutely recommend him!”
MDohnal
“My orthopedist sent me to Professor Hart, saying that if he couldn’t help me, no one could. When I was young, I played a lot of football and often injured my ankle. When I was forty, my ankle started to hurt and gradually became deformed. I wanted to stay active and not have a stiff ankle. Professor Hart provided me with an artificial joint, and I have been enjoying a pain-free life for many years now. I have climbed Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu without any problems…”
Lukáš Koller
former patient
“For a long time, I had neck pain that radiated into my left arm. My GP found signs of wear on three cervical discs with two herniations. I consulted two neurosurgeons who offered me spinal fusion. However, I wanted to keep moving my neck. Professor Hart offered me a timely surgery date, during which he replaced the worn discs with artificial ones, so I could move my neck as before and the arm pain gradually disappeared. Professor Hart’s approach is very professional, and I can warmly recommend his treatment.”
Anna Černá
former patient
“Years ago, I fell from a tree and was in a coma for several weeks. I am right-handed, and my right elbow was completely stiff at a right angle at the time. When I was discharged from the hospital, I realized I could no longer do common things like eating or washing. While searching for help, I came across Professor Hart, who was the only one who dared to perform a demanding surgery. He managed to restore my joint using an external fixator. Today, I can do all common things like other healthy people without significant pain, and above all, I can take care of myself.”
Roman Lang
former patient
“For many years, I had pain due to a curved and worn spine, and no one wanted to operate on me. I keep many parrots and could no longer take care of them. A doctor at a clinic in Prague advised me to try my luck with Professor Hart. He almost straightened my spine and screwed it from the shoulder blades to the sacrum. My pain has significantly eased, and thanks to Professor Hart, I can keep my parrots.”
