In the past year 2023, 1494 hip and knee alloplasties were performed in the high-tech hospital complexes ‘Heart and Brain’ in Pleven and Burgas. This puts them in first place in endoprosthetics. The NHIF data show an overall increase in orthopaedic surgeries in the country, with the number approaching pre-pandemic levels.

The orthopaedics and traumatology teams at ‘Heart and Brain’ work to the most advanced global standards in the field of major joint arthroplasty (hip, knee, shoulder), applying the methods of minimally invasive primary and revision arthroplasty. It is thanks to their high level of expertise that they have traditionally collaborated with leading European specialists in the field and have received high praise from the thousands of patients who have undergone them. “Our designation as the main centre for revision arthroplasty in the country is a high recognition,” says the head of the clinic in Pleven, prof. Asparuh Asparuhov. “The constant upgrading of the knowledge and skills of our doctors, the respect for each patient and the good cooperation with the rehabilitation teams create all the prerequisites for long-term preservation of our position as one of the leading orthopaedic centres in the country.”
