Orthopedics Consultation

Specialist orthopedic consultation at CPM Pavla Koláře, providing expert evaluation of joint, muscle, tendon, and ligament disorders. The centre's orthopedic team includes specialists covering general orthopaedics, hand surgery, hip replacement, paediatric orthopaedics, and holistic musculoskeletal medicine. Consultations result in a personalised treatment plan and referral for any required imaging within the centre. Suitable for all ages and for both acute injuries and long-standing joint or structural conditions.

The orthopedics consultation at CPM Pavla Koláře is delivered by a multi-specialist team rather than a single generalist, enabling referral within the same centre to the most appropriate subspecialty for each case. The team covers general orthopaedics and sports injury, hand surgery and upper extremity conditions, hip reconstruction and replacement, paediatric orthopaedics for developmental and growth-related issues, and a holistic musculoskeletal approach that integrates orthopaedic assessment with DNS movement analysis. The consultation begins with a detailed history — mechanism of injury, symptom progression, previous treatment, and functional limitations — followed by a physical examination including range of motion assessment, provocation testing, and neurological screening where indicated. The orthopedist then reviews any existing imaging and, where necessary, refers for X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI within the centre's radiology department. The consultation concludes with a personalised treatment plan that may include conservative management through physiotherapy and physical therapy, injections, surgical planning, or a combination. Having orthopaedics embedded within a movement medicine centre rather than in a standalone surgical practice changes the decision-making environment: the orthopedist has immediate access to DNS-trained physiotherapists, physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, and radiologists, making co-managed care plans easier to coordinate. This integration is particularly valuable for conditions where the appropriate balance between conservative and surgical treatment is not straightforward, and for post-operative patients whose rehabilitation can start within the same facility.
