Akromion

Since it started operating in 2008, Akromion has continuously maintained its reputation as a respectable orthopedic institution in this part of Europe. The special hospital for orthopedics and traumatology located in Zagreb's Dugave neighborhood uses the latest technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic problems and achieves exceptional results in providing medical services for diseases and injuries of the movement system.

Akromion covers all types of bone-joint procedures, from arthroscopy to the installation of artificial joints (hip, knee, shoulder and elbow), here they repair fractures and perform reconstructive procedures for poorly repaired fractures, as well as acquired and congenital deformities. Numerous top athletes have been successfully operated on and rehabilitated in Akromion, which is why this hospital is known for its expertise in the treatment of sports injuries, which are particularly challenging for each doctor and his team.

The great advantage of Akromion Special Hospital is the possibility to do everything in one place and get a complete service - from examination and diagnostics to surgery and rehabilitation. After certain surgical procedures, patients have the opportunity to continue with the necessary further physical therapy in the same institution, and a new feature in Akromion is a counter-current pool in which exercises for the legs, arms and trunk are performed against the resistance of the water.

Thus, patients who wish to stay in Akromion for a longer period of time, after, for example, the installation of an artificial hip, knee or shoulder, can remain in inpatient rehabilitation and are offered hotel accommodation with a quality selection of food and physical therapy. For patients who want accommodation for their companion within the hospital's capacity, Akromion also offers accommodation in an apartment.

Akromion Special Hospital was one of the first to introduce one-day surgery and is one of the few hospitals in the country that carries out this type of treatment - the patient comes to the hospital in the morning on the agreed day of surgery and is discharged from the hospital the same day after the procedure. Most often, these are arthroscopic operations that are performed minimally invasively by introducing a probe with a camera and which are performed routinely at Akromion Hospital.

Akromion is equipped with the most modern radiological devices (x-ray, ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance), implants from the world's leading manufacturers are installed. The hospital is also distinguished by the possibility of choosing the type of prosthesis, depending on the patient's age and activities, as well as the degree of joint damage.

By introducing their own transfusion protocol into clinical practice, Akromion managed to reduce the donation of other people's blood to just under 5% when installing hip and knee prostheses. And as part of the high-quality healthcare provided by the Akromion hospital, various regional anesthesia techniques are applied, which significantly facilitates rehabilitation and reduces postoperative pain.
