Procedures


Arthroscopic and mini invasive procedures performed in Artromedical


Procedures performed by our Artromedical team can be financed either by NFZ (National Health Fund) or by patients themselves. Whatever the financing source, we use the same quality implants and the same methods. We are always guided by our detailed knowledge and experience.

There are many patients awaiting for NFZ funded procedures. Private procedures can be performed sooner – if the injury is acute or the patient doesn’t want to wait long or wants to choose a suitable date.

NFZ funded procedures are performed at the Szpital Wojewodzki im. Mikolaja Kopernika in Piotrkow Trybunalski and at the MegaMed one-day surgery ward in Belchatow. Most of private procedures are performed at the Artromedical surgery ward in Piotrkow Trybunalski or in MegaMed.

The list of most important surgery procedures:
