Scale, Facilities and Management:
Nordorthopaedics forms part of the wider Nordclinic Medical Group, a major Lithuanian healthcare network integrating hospital care, diagnostics, outpatient services and rehabilitation programmes. The dedicated orthopaedic unit in Kaunas is a modern, purpose-built surgical centre designed exclusively around the needs of orthopaedic patients.
The facility includes more than 40 inpatient beds, a specialist post-operative recovery unit, and several advanced operating theatres equipped for high-precision arthroscopic, endoscopic, minimally invasive and joint-replacement procedures. The theatres feature laminar airflow ventilation, digital navigation equipment and sterile zoning systems that reduce the risk of infection and optimise surgical accuracy.
Clinical governance is overseen by a leadership team headed by Professor Sarunas Tarasevicius, an experienced orthopaedic surgeon responsible for maintaining quality, training and international partnerships. Under his supervision, the clinic has expanded its subspecialties — including joint preservation surgery and strengthened its collaboration with European academic and research centres.

Its diagnostic suite features digital MRI, CT and ultrasound along with dynamic joint evaluation tools. Operating theatres utilise computer-assisted navigation, arthroscopy towers, robotic-ready systems, and sophisticated endoscopic platforms that enable high precision with minimal disruption to healthy tissues.
Performance and Outcomes:
Nordorthopaedics maintains outstanding audited clinical results, benchmarked against EU orthopaedic standards:
- Joint replacement: post-operative complication rate under 2%; implant lifespan 15–20 years
- Sports surgery: return-to-sport within 4–6 months for most ACL and meniscal procedures; re-injury rate <3%
- Foot and ankle surgery: revision rate <2%
These indicators reflect rigorous surgical planning, advanced technology and strong rehabilitation support and the results are validated through continuous data monitoring and benchmarking against EU clinical performance indicators.
Patient Safety and Quality Assurance:
Nordclinic’s clinical governance follows European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care and World Health Organisation patient safety frameworks. Each surgical case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team, and all intensive care patients receive round-the-clock consultant supervision. Nordorthopaedics maintains exceptionally low infection rates — consistently below 1% — thanks to stringent sterilisation processes and modern airflow systems.
Coordination with MMG:
For MMG patients, Nordorthopaedics offers fully coordinated care pathways, including virtual pre-assessment, travel assistance, admission scheduling, and post-operative follow-up. The international patient coordination team — fluent in English — ensures clear communication at every stage. Diagnostic tests are typically arranged within 24–48 hours of arrival, and most patients remain in hospital for two to five days, depending on procedure complexity.
Rehabilitation and Continuing Care:
Rehabilitation begins immediately after surgery and is tailored to each patient’s procedure and recovery goals. Physiotherapists guide structured mobility, strength training and joint-function programmes.
