A man, 42 years old manager, active sportsman, without other heart problems. During a recreational soccer match suffered a knee joint injury with swelling and effusion; repeated puncture of the knee was performed. At the X-ray in his home country, there were no skeletal injury changes and symptoms of damage to cartilage. In the clinical examination, there were signs of knee instability evidencing damage to crucial ligaments and possibly meniscus. Brace was applied. This patient addressed Czech Medical Tours with a request for quick arthroscopic solution. On the day of arrival, we arranged MRI of the knee joint; the finding was the front crucial ligament rapture and partial rapture of meniscus. On the third day in the Czech Republic, surgery was performed in the arthroscopy centre; cruciate ligament-plasty and partial removal of meniscus were performed with standard post-operation progress. On the 7th day, the patient leaves after the check-up by the orthopaedist, who recommended rehabilitation treatment, which the patient prefers to arrange at his place of residency.
