Locomotive System Department

Providing quality care and boosting research are the fundamental objectives which characterise our Trauma Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery service. Our teams of professionals specialise in every condition of the locomotor system, which are treated in sub-speciality units (hand, shoulder, orthopaedic oncology, paediatric orthopaedics, keyhole surgery and sports medicine, hip and knee replacement, and foot).

Patients can find the most advanced treatments, the latest medical technology and humane care, where the doctor-patient relationship is given particular importance.

• Global pioneers in treatments using autologous cartilage to treat cartilage damage.
• We perform MIS (Minimal Incision Surgery), a surgical method which enables us to perform operations using minimal incisions
• We have specialised units for upper and lower limbs, as well as specialised units for minimally invasive surgery and regenerative medicine.

Keyhole Surgery

We have won the Spanish Arthroscopic Association annual award for best research work on four occasions. Furthermore, our service was the first in Spain to perform autologous cartilage transplants, meniscal transplants and to use MSC arthroscopic techniques.

Keyhole surgery technique with autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis enriched with PRP or stems cells and autologous chondrocyte transplants to treat cartilage damage.

Biological Therapies

(Platelet Rich Plasma and stem cells) as a conservative treatment and complement to surgery.
