What Is Orthopedic Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal system — including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It can correct deformities, repair injuries, or replace damaged joints using advanced techniques and modern prostheses.
To help you overcome pain and regain function faster, our private orthopedic clinic emphasizes minimally invasive approaches that are highly effective and allow for reduced downtime and post-operative risks.
Conditions Treated
We treat various orthopedic conditions with personalized care tailored to your needs. Here are some of the most common problems we treat:
Hand Conditions
- Dupuytren’s contracture: Tightening of tissue in the palm that limits finger movement. Surgical treatment releases the affected tendons to restore normal function of the hand;
- Trigger finger: A stuck finger that’s difficult to straighten. We use a minimally invasive procedure that releases the flexor tendon and restores
- De Quervain’s tenosynovitis: Inflammation at the base of the thumb, causing pain and stiffness. Surgical treatment involves releasing the tendon sheath to relieve discomfort;
- Rhizarthrosis (thumb arthritis): Joint degeneration of the thumb. Treatment options include prosthetic joint replacement or bone removal;
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: Nerve compression causing numbness and weakness in the hand. A mini incision or endoscopic surgery relieves pressure on the nerve;
- Ulnar nerve compression: Nerve entrapment at the elbow or wrist can cause discomfort and loss of sensation. Treatment may vary based on the severity of symptoms;
- Synovectomy: Removal of inflamed joint lining in chronic conditions resistant to conventional treatments.
Shoulder Conditions
- Rotator cuff tears: Rupture of the shoulder tendons, causing pain and limited Arthroscopy is used to repair the damage with a rapid recovery,

Frequently Asked Questions
When is orthopedic surgery necessary?
Surgery is considered when conservative treatments (drugs, physiotherapy, injections) are no longer effective, and the pain or dysfunction significantly affects daily life.
How long does recovery take?
It depends on the type of procedure. For instance, arthroscopy recovery will likely take a few weeks, while a full joint replacement may take several months of recovery.
How long do I have to stay in the hospital after orthopedic surgery?
There are outpatient options that require only a few hours of hospitalization. For more complex operations like joint replacement, however, you may have to stay in the orthopedic private clinic for at least 2 to 5 days.
Is physiotherapy necessary after surgery?
Yes, rehab is essential for restoring mobility and muscle strength.
How long before I regain full mobility?
This depends on the procedure and the effort you put into recovery. Generally, this may take a few weeks or months.
When can I return to sports or driving after orthopedic surgery?
You may be advised to avoid sports for 3 to 6 months to ensure a full recovery. For driving, it’s generally recommended that you stay off the wheel for 4 to 6 weeks. However, these time frames may depend on the type of surgery.
What types of exercise are safe post-surgery?
You can start with light movement and muscle-toning exercises, followed by progressive exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Definitely a professional clinic and team, especially Dr. Dragoș Vălean, who operated and treated me. I definitely recommend it.

I was operated on by Dr. Dragoș Vălean for varicose veins in both legs in November 2024, and the experience was remarkable. Thanks to the professionalism and warmth with which I was treated, the recovery was extremely fast, and in December I was able to return to training without any problems. I had an impeccable intervention, and the post-operative discomfort was minimal, which demonstrates both the expertise of the doctor and the care given to the patients. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for everything and recommend him with the utmost confidence!

Thanks to everyone who made the intervention a success. An exceptional doctor, Dr. Vălean Dragoș, who did more than was his job to do, without giving the feeling that he was sacrificing himself or expecting any other reward than success. 💜

From the very beginning, from the first consultation to the post-operative consultation, Mr. Doctor Dragoș Vălean behaved and managed the situation like a true professional. While I collaborated with Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean, I noticed not only an expert doctor in his field but also a true human being, empathetic, sympathetic in other words, a good doctor, a good man. His human side and the professionalism with which Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean works together with his team, take the specialization and the field in which he works to the level of art. You remain with this feeling even after going through an intervention that I also went through, more precisely, the ligation of the saphenous vein cross by endovenous thermal ablation and the removal of large dilated varicose veins. I went through this whole process very easily thanks to the good organization of Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean. After the post-operative intervention, 2 hours later I walked home on my own, and I felt so good that I did not need a painkiller. And after the check-up done at 1 month, everything is very good, the saphenous vein is closed, the procedure is successful and the leg looks good and my condition is good. I thank Dr. Dragoș Vălean once again for the medical art he performed on me.

It took my mother a long time to decide that it was time to undergo surgical treatment for varicose ulcers, especially after hearing about many suboptimal results of surgeries performed by other doctors. Finally, the time has come! I chose Dr. Dragos Valean because I saw many positive reviews about him. A few days ago, he performed endovenous radiofrequency ablation on my mother. Everything went excellently. The intervention was performed under general anesthesia. Approximately 2 hours after the intervention, she was able to leave the clinic on her feet, without any pain or discomfort. Now that she has taken this step, my mother would recommend this type of intervention to anyone, and especially the doctor. In addition to being a professional, he is empathetic, he thinks about the possibilities of each patient, without putting his own benefit first. He has a developed sense of humor, which makes the consultations seem more comfortable. For now, we are a few days post-operative. I look forward to coming back in 1 month with another positive feedback. Until then, we appreciate the work he does and recommend him to anyone. Here I am after one month! The ulcer has healed. Venous EcoDoppler after a month confirmed again the closure of the vein and the success of the procedure. Thank you, Dr. Dragos Valean!

On this occasion, I would like to thank once again Mr. Dr. Dragos Valean and the Venart CJ team for the professionalism, seriousness and transparency they demonstrated in the treatment of varicose veins in the left lower limb. More than 1 month after the surgical intervention (endovenous ablation Vnus Closure) I can say that this was a real success, both from a therapeutic, aesthetic and postoperative recovery point of view. I confess all this after suffering a relapse after a first intervention, performed in an erroneous way from my perspective, about 10 years ago at a clinic in Oradea. I recommend to all of you who read this review to turn with confidence to the Venart team to benefit from this help that can be offered to you in the treatment of varicose veins using the latest procedures and medical technologies, all so that we can all enjoy a healthy and normal life. Good health! Remus.

I had surgery with Dr. Catana Iuliu for a deviated septum and I am very happy with the result. A special doctor, professional, experienced, open to communication, and together with Mr. Andrei Cismas they do a wonderful job. All my fears about the surgery disappeared with the meeting with the doctor, I am very afraid when it comes to doctors and hospitals, but I took courage and made the decision. I had no pain and everything went very well, so much so that I can't believe I had the surgery. I recommend him to those who are thinking about having this surgery, to go without fear, I am in the hands of an exceptional doctor. I was pleasantly impressed by the entire staff of the Venart clinic!

I had an intervention at the clinic and I can only note the exceptional conditions, hygiene and professional approach of the entire staff with whom I interacted. Everything went beyond expectations from pre-operative to post-operative support. "Suma cum laude" for the professionalism and empathy shown by Dr. Catana. Following the surgical intervention, which was not at all simple, my life was changed in the true sense of the word. The doctor "did his magic", so everything went beyond my expectations, considering that I was having my first surgical intervention with general anesthesia in my life. I did not feel any pain, the healing process was quick and easy and I received all the information & pre- and post-operative support. He is the only specialist I have met so far who investigates the conditions/deficiencies of the nose as a whole, including the valve and cartilage. The intervention, in my case, had an exclusively functional purpose, however, inherent with harmonious aesthetic consequences. Thanks to Dr. Catana Iuliu, Dr. Andrei Cișmaș for the general anesthesia preparation, Ms. Maria, the nurse, for all the care, and the ladies at the reception for the administrative support!

I highly recommend Dr. Iuliu Cătană. I had a septoplasty and turbinoplasty surgery and the results are very good. The procedure was explained to me in advance, I was informed about the entire process, I was communicated with openly and amicably, I felt relaxed before the procedure. The surgery went well, from waking up from anesthesia to discharge it was 6 hours. The doctor was present minutes after waking up to see how I was feeling, to explain how everything went and to instruct me on the evolution of the next hours. I have been breathing through my nose since the moment I woke up, after 12 years of difficulty breathing... A few hours later I received another visit from Dr. Iuliu Cătană, where I received the instructions and prescriptions in writing and he explained the entire healing process to me once again. I left with a "high five" after the surgery. I had very little bleeding and minimal discomfort, compared to the information I heard on the Internet and from acquaintances. After 7 days, I returned to the doctor to remove the splinters from my nose, a quick and high-impact procedure. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and after receiving instructions until the next check-up, I returned home where I fully resumed my activity. I highly recommend calling Dr. Iuliu Cătană for ENT problems! He works wonders, day after day.

Friendly staff and great professionalism. My mother (62 years old) had a minimally invasive varicose vein procedure (unilateral endovenous thermal ablation) in February performed by Dr. Dragoș Vălean, who was very patient and friendly, explained the options we had and what the procedure entailed. The recovery was easy, without pain, inflammation or other problems. I highly recommend it!

I want to say that three weeks ago I had breast surgery, I opted for augmentation because I had a complex that I had very small breasts. Doctor Filip Florin is a top-notch doctor, I'm not saying that the nurses are also very nice, which is something you don't expect these days, a very nice staff, the doctor is on point, and the clinic is quite clean ❤️❤️❤️ The only thing that ruins it is the cleaning lady, she is very insistent, which is what got me out of my head, otherwise it definitely deserves the 5 stars ❤️❤️❤️ I highly recommend it 🥰🥰🥰

I made about 8 trips to Bucharest in an attempt to get rid of varicose veins in my legs, I went through a traumatic experience at the so-called "largest private hospital in the country" where I ended up on the operating table and my surgery was canceled, I didn't solve anything and I wasted time and money, I had already resigned myself to the idea that I would live like this for the rest of my life, that is until I spoke to the people at Venart. The people understood my problems, I sent them all the medical documents on WhatsApp and the 2nd day they called me to confirm that they could help me. I made an appointment for the surgery, and everything went very well, although I was still skeptical. For those with vascular problems, I recommend with all my confidence Dr. Rene Milleret, a celebrity in the field and a consummate professional. Thousands of thanks to the people at Venart, Dr. Milleret as well as the anesthesiologist Dr. Irina Luca!+0

My husband was operated on for a rather serious varicose ulcer at the beginning of June by Dr. Dragoș Valean, we are very satisfied with the services offered by the clinic and the professionalism of the doctor is far beyond the 5 stars offered.

I was in this clinic where I was operated on by Dr. Rene Milleret, the steam method, for a post-traumatic varicose ulcer that had not healed for a long time. The operation had an immediate effect, in a few days the wound closed and remained that way permanently. Before I had the operation in this clinic, I was in Bucharest where another doctor removed my great saphenous vein, which was not beneficial for me at all. I was lucky that I found out about Dr. Rene Milleret who also solved my condition and what the other doctor destroyed.

Good evening. My name is Calabrese Andra, and a year ago, more precisely on 02/14/2019 I had an intervention at the Ven Art Cluj-Napoca clinic (varicose vein treatment - steam method). This clinic from my point of view deserves 5 SUPERIOR STARS for: innovative methods, professionalism and seriousness of the team. In this way, I would like to thank Doctor VALEAN DRAGOS IULIU and the entire team for all the trust and seriousness given. Today, 02/14/2020, it is exactly one year since the intervention and I really wanted to write this review with the idea that I can help other people who have the same problem that I had. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything and I hope that this information will be shared as much as possible!
