About me
Medical studies at Masaryk University in Brno, work at orthopaedic clinics in Prague and Brno, study stays in Vienna and Hamburg. I was appointed professor in 2008 and have been a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England since 2010.
Attending many international congresses keeps me up to date with the rapid development of orthopaedics; in my daily practice I combine proven approaches of the French-, English- and German-speaking orthopaedic schools.
“Musculoskeletal problems reduce quality of life more than most other conditions and often have no easy solutions. Freeing patients from their problems and bringing them back to what they used to do is the biggest challenge for me.”
Patient opinions
I fell out of a tree years ago and was in a coma for several weeks. My right elbow was stiff at a right angle and I could no longer eat or wash on my own. Prof. Hart was the only one who dared to perform the demanding operation and restored my joint with an external fixator. Today I can look after myself again.
My orthopaedic surgeon sent me to Professor Hart and said that if he could not help me, nobody could. From the age of forty my ankle hurt and gradually became deformed. Professor Hart gave me an artificial joint, and I have enjoyed a pain-free life for many years. I climbed Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu without problems.
For many years I had pain because of a curved and worn spine, and nobody wanted to operate on me. A doctor at a clinic in Prague advised me to try Professor Hart. He almost straightened my spine, and my pain has eased considerably.
For a long time I had neck pain radiating into my left arm. Two neurosurgeons offered to stiffen my spine, but I wanted to keep moving my neck. Professor Hart replaced the worn discs with artificial ones; I move my neck as before and the pain in my hand has gradually disappeared. I can highly recommend him.
