Possibilities of the Traumatology and Orthopedics Department of VIRTUS Clinic
The locomotive system diseases not only worsen the health-related quality of life depriving a person of the freedom of movements but also lead to the development of local and general disorders in the organism. Therefore it is important to get a qualified medical assistance as soon as possible so as to avoid negative consequences for health.
Advice of an orthopedist is required if You have the following symptoms:
- constrained movements in the morning or after a long-time period of rest;
- crunching joints at movements or when palpating them;
- swelling, pain in joints, bones or muscles;
- deterioration of joint movement.
It is necessary to consult a traumatologist after the closed injury as well because a person may not correctly assess the degree of injury. The doctor will make the diagnostics and, if required, assigns a therapy in order to avoid development of traumatopathy.
Traumatology and Orthopedics Department of the Frontline Medical Institute VIRTUS has all technical capacities to diagnose and treatment of the diseases and consequences of the locomotor system traumas. In our practice we make use of the modern methods of conservative and surgical treatment as well as of the regenerative medicine possibilities – the cell therapy. Thanks to the use of cell preparations produced out of the patient’s own stem cells high results have been achieved when treating diseases and traumas of the locomotor system.
Treatment of traumas and orthopedic diseases
The Traumatology and Orthopedics Department of the Frontline Medical Institute VIRTUS treats the following:
- arthritis and osteoarthrosis;
- fractures;

Due to application of the advanced regenerative medicine methods, the Frontline Medical Institute VIRTUS has achieved a considerable progress in treating degenerative diseases of bone tissues which were considered to be incurable earlier – arthrosis, osteoporosis and others. Cell therapy makes it possible to start up a natural process of the damaged tissue restoration and considerably postpone an operation or avoid it completely. The method can be applied either as a sole treatment or in combination with other treatment methods.

Orthopedists and traumatologists usually prescribe a general blood and urine analysis, as well as a coagulogram – a complex study of blood coagulation.
How does orthopedics differ from traumatology?
Orthopedics deals with the study and therapy of congenital or acquired diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and traumatology deals with the treatment of injuries to bones, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues as a result of injuries.
How to prepare for an orthopedic or traumatologist examination?
Special preparation for an orthopedist’s or traumatologist’s examination is not required. If there are MRI results or an X-ray of the problem area, it is advisable to take it with you.
