Trust
Orthopaedic surgery at HR Clinic is led by Prof. Dr. Radek Hart, FRCS — a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England with more than 30 years of orthopaedic and surgical experience and over 10,000 operations. He is the author of more than 120 scientific publications and 9 medical books, leads a foot and ankle surgery team in Vienna, and focuses on joint preservation, reconstruction and selected joint replacement.
Our approach
Surgery abroad is only worth considering when it is the right operation for you. So we start with your diagnosis and imaging, not with a booking: your MRI, X-ray or CT and your reports are reviewed, and you are told whether surgery is appropriate and, if it is, which operation. We work with selected cases, not mass medical tourism; if surgery in Czechia is not right for you, we say so. You then receive a written quote and possible dates, and decide in your own time.
Services
Knee and foot and ankle surgery, with indicative "from" prices. The prices are set in euros and shown here in pounds, rounded up; your written quote confirms the final amount for your case. Travel and accommodation are not included. Choose the area that applies to you.
From £5,500 (set at €6,200). Also called half or unicompartmental knee replacement: when arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee, only that part of the joint is replaced. Compared with a total knee replacement it preserves more natural structures and may allow a faster recovery in selected cases. Your scans show whether it suits you.
Knee realignment (high tibial osteotomy) from £4,450, meniscus replacement (transplant) from £5,150, cartilage repair from £3,900, patellar (kneecap) instability surgery from £3,550 and ACL reconstruction from £3,200. Prof. Dr. Hart focuses on joint preservation: these operations aim to preserve your own joint, in some cases to delay the need for a replacement, or to restore stability. Which one is appropriate depends on your scans.
Total ankle replacement from £7,200 and ankle ligament reconstruction from £3,450. In an ankle replacement the damaged joint surfaces are replaced instead of fused, which aims to keep the ankle moving; whether it suits you depends on your imaging and on the state of the joint. Prof. Dr. Hart leads a foot and ankle surgery team in Vienna.
Great toe joint replacement from £3,750, flat foot surgery from £3,550 and forefoot reconstruction from £3,050. They are options for a painful, stiff big toe joint, a flat foot and forefoot deformities. We start with your scans and, where surgery is not the right step, we say so.
From £2,850. An option when the Achilles tendon is damaged and cannot be repaired simply; the tendon is reconstructed. Your imaging and history decide whether surgery is appropriate.
HR Clinic also treats selected shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist conditions. Prices depend on the procedure and are quoted after your scans have been reviewed. Send your scans and tell us what you have been advised.
