Dr. Nenad Medancic
Dr. Nenad Medancic is a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology in Zagreb, with a clinical focus on shoulder, hip, knee, and sports-related injuries. He practices at Akromion, a special hospital for orthopedic surgery where patients can access orthopedic evaluation, surgery, diagnostics, and rehabilitation within the same clinical pathway.
His work is closely connected with conditions that affect joint stability, tendon function, mobility, and return to activity. Patients commonly seek his assessment for shoulder pain after injury, rotator cuff tendon tears, recurrent shoulder instability, hip pain caused by intra-articular pathology, sports injuries, knee trauma, and cases where previous conservative treatment has not provided sufficient improvement.
Clinical focus
- Shoulder injuries and shoulder joint disease
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic rotator cuff tendon repair
- Shoulder stabilization procedures for instability and recurrent dislocation
- Fracture treatment and shoulder prosthesis surgery
- Hip arthroscopy, including labral, capsular, ligament, and muscle reconstruction
- Primary and revision hip endoprosthesis surgery
Procedures and treatment planning
Dr. Medancic performs procedures related to arthroscopic shoulder surgery, rotator cuff treatments, shoulder instability treatment, and shoulder prosthesis. In hip surgery, his narrower field includes hip arthroscopy and implantation of hip endoprostheses, including total hip endoprosthesis.
Treatment planning usually starts with a specialist examination, review of previous imaging, assessment of joint function, and a discussion of realistic treatment options. Depending on the diagnosis, this may include conservative care, rehabilitation, arthroscopic surgery, reconstructive surgery, fracture management, or joint replacement. His approach is based on matching the procedure to the patient’s diagnosis, joint condition, activity level, and recovery expectations.
Professional background
Dr. Medancic is a member of SECEC, the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and Elbow, and ISHA, the international society for hip arthroscopy. He has participated in numerous symposia and congresses as a lecturer, and his scientific work has been published in medical journals.
