I mainly deal with hip and knee prosthesis implantation, and the solution of problematic prostheses and complications (e.g. complicated primary implants, replacement of loose prostheses, multi-stage surgical treatment of infected prostheses, treatment of fractures around prostheses).
As a senior orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Tivadar Háncs specializes in the implantation and replacement of hip and knee prostheses. "Replacing the two weight-bearing large joints of the human body, prosthesis implantation is one of the most beautiful surgical challenges. Restoring the joy of movement to an elderly patient is a real success," says Dr. Háncs.
Education
After obtaining the specialist diploma, I gradually became specialised in hip and knee arthroplasty. I continuously train myself in national and international courses.
I graduated summa cum laude from the Faculty of Medicine of Semmelweis University in 2007, and in 2015 I passed the specialist examination in orthopaedics and traumatology.
Job experience
In 2023, I was the chief traumatologist for the medical support team of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
I worked for 15 years in the Trauma Surgery Department of the Defence Hospital, which has been the solid foundation of my limb surgery practice ever since.
