Achilles tendon injury Treatment in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Treatment for Achilles tendon injury is available at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, where specialists focus on both surgical and non-invasive recovery. A consultation may cost around $80, while a visit with an ultrasound typically runs $120. Prof. Henryk Liszka, a board member of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS), leads the medical team for foot and ankle surgery.
Diagnostics and specialist consultations
The clinic provides physical assessments and imaging to determine the extent of the tendon damage. Patients can receive an evaluation in person or through online video consultations. This helps international patients start their treatment plan before traveling to Poland.
- Orthopedic consultation. A standard specialist meeting costs around $80.
- Consultation with Prof. Henryk Liszka. An expert evaluation with the MD, PhD specialist is around $130.
- Orthopedic consultation with ultrasound. A combined visit including imaging costs around $120.
- Ultrasound of the ankle joint. This scan identifies tears, inflammation, or fluid in the soft tissues.
Treatment methods and surgery
Nowa Ortopedia offers various options depending on whether the injury is a sudden rupture or chronic tendinopathy. The clinic uses focused shockwave therapy and regenerative injections for non-surgical cases. For complete ruptures, surgical intervention is performed as a day surgery procedure.
- Surgical repair of ruptured Achilles tendon. The surgeon sutures the torn ends of the tendon together. This procedure includes anesthesia and a short stay in the hospital.
- Shockwave therapy (FSWT). This non-invasive method uses focused waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It is an outpatient procedure and does not require a hospital stay.
- PRP injections. Platelet-rich plasma from the patient's own blood is injected to speed up tissue regeneration. This is used primarily for chronic tendon issues.
Rehabilitation and recovery
Post-operative care at the clinic focuses on restoring strength and mobility through specialized equipment. The medical team uses the Biodex System to assess muscle function and rehabilitation progress. Recovery also incorporates the Game Ready system, which combines cold therapy and active compression to reduce swelling and pain. Patients can request a consultation for a personalized treatment plan on Bookimed.

Nowa Ortopedia: more details about the clinic
Specialized Orthopedic Care
The clinic treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions through its orthopedic and traumatology departments. Surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to speed recovery and reduce tissue damage.
- Arthroscopic knee surgery performed through 2–4 portals
- ACL reconstruction using the Internal Bracing reinforcement method
- Treatment for meniscus tears, including bucket-handle and complex radial tears
- Foot and ankle surgery for hallux valgus and plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder arthroscopy for instability and rotator cuff repair
Specialists focus on functional restoration by pairing surgery with immediate rehabilitation. Each surgical plan includes targeted physiotherapy to maintain long-term joint stability.
Hand Surgery and Neurosurgery
The facility offers advanced treatment for nerve compression and chronic hand disorders. Specialists perform endoscopic carpal tunnel release through smaller incisions. This allows faster return to activity, and the entire hospital stay typically lasts one hour.
- Microsurgical decompression of the median nerve
- Ultrasound-guided injections for De Quervain's disease
- Surgical management of trigger finger and Dupuytren's contracture
- Neurosurgical care for herniated discs and spinal stenosis
Most hand procedures use local anesthesia and absorbable sutures. This approach removes the need for casting or long-term immobilization in most cases.
Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy
Nowa Ortopedia uses multipotent cells (MSCC/BMA) to treat degenerative joint diseases and sports injuries. These cells come from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue. The clinic uses Hyalofast, a hyaluronic membrane that serves as a scaffold for stem cells during cartilage repair.
This regenerative approach targets early-stage arthrosis and partial ligament injuries. Multipotent cells are also given during tendon repairs to support natural tissue healing.
Pediatric Orthopedics
The hospital has a specialized unit for children's orthopedic and traumatology needs. Diagnostic services include infant hip ultrasound to screen for dysplasia. The team manages various developmental and acquired conditions in young patients:
- Limb-axis deformities such as varus and valgus
- Perthes disease and femoral head slippage
- Sports injuries and trauma in pediatric patients
At least one pediatric specialist provides consultations in English for international families.
Advanced Diagnostic and Recovery Technology
The clinic uses professional assessment tools to monitor progress and refine treatment plans. Diagnostic capabilities include digital X-ray, CT scans, and baropodometry to assess foot pressure distribution.
- Biodex System for isokinetic muscle strength assessment
- Keiser Functional Trainer for rehabilitation
- Game Ready cold compression system for post-op recovery
- Stryker HD arthroscopy columns for high-definition surgical imaging
- Woodway treadmill with high cushioning for gait training
The physiotherapy department also offers HI-TOP energotonic therapy. This advanced electrotherapy helps manage pain and stimulates tissue recovery.
Services for International Patients
The hospital supports patients traveling from abroad through specialized digital systems. English-speaking specialists are available in several departments, including orthopedics and pediatrics. The facility offers online video consultations for patients who live far from Kraków. For those unable to travel, the rehabilitation team can provide home visits within the local area.
