Arthrosis Treatment in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Arthrosis treatment at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, focuses on joint preservation through regenerative medicine and advanced surgical techniques. Diagnostic consultations start around $80, while specialized hip procedures typically run between $2,300 and $3,200. This specialized orthopedic hospital features a dedicated day-surgery ward and uses advanced rehabilitation technology like the Biodex System 4 Pro.
Diagnostics and consultations
The diagnostic process begins with a physical assessment to determine the extent of joint wear. Patients receive a clear plan for either conservative therapy or surgical intervention after these evaluations. Available diagnostics include:
- Orthopedic consultation. A standard review of joint health costs around $80–$130.
- Orthopedic consultation with ultrasound. A combined visit including real-time imaging is around $90.
- Imaging services. The clinic provides digital X-rays, CT scans, and MRI of the knee.
- Functional assessments. Specialized tests include Biodex isokinetic muscle strength assessment and baropodometry for foot pressure.
Surgical treatment for knee arthrosis
Dr. n. med. Amadeusz Skiba specializes in the surgical and conservative treatment of knee arthrosis. Dr. Skiba holds a doctoral thesis with distinction and completed a fellowship at the Lyon Ortho Clinic. The facility offers several surgical paths depending on the severity of the condition:
- Knee arthroscopy with debridement. This minimally invasive procedure uses 2–4 portals to clean the joint and remove osteophytes. It often includes synovectomy or meniscus repair.
- High tibial osteotomy (HTO). This joint-preserving surgery unloads the damaged compartment in active patients with varus malalignment.
- BioPoly partial knee resurfacing. A mini-open approach that uses polyethylene implants to treat focal damage while preserving healthy ligaments and menisci.
- Joint replacement. For advanced arthrosis, surgeons perform unicompartmental or total knee endoprosthesis to restore mobility.
Regenerative and alternative therapies
The clinic uses multipotent cells and biological scaffolds to repair early degenerative defects. These methods help patients avoid or delay major joint replacement surgery.
- Cartilage reconstruction. Surgeons use the Hyalofast membrane or the single-stage Autocart technique to repair cartilage using the patient's own cells.
- Injectable therapies. Options include viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and Orthokine therapy.
- Stem cell therapy. Multipotent cells from bone marrow or adipose tissue help enhance tissue healing in early-stage arthrosis.
- Hip arthroscopy. This procedure treats femoroacetabular impingement and may cost around $2,300–$3,200.
Rehabilitation and recovery
Recovery is supported by functional rehabilitation using professional equipment. Patients utilize the Woodway treadmill, Keiser Functional Trainer, and the Game Ready cold-compression system to manage swelling and regain strength. Most arthroscopic procedures are performed as day surgery, allowing patients to begin recovery shortly after the intervention. You can request a consultation at Nowa Ortopedia through the Bookimed platform.

How are we doing?
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.
