Flat feet Treatment in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Flat feet treatment at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, focuses on restoring foot function through a variety of conservative and surgical methods. Pediatric orthopedic consultations are around $30, a computer foot exam costs around $40, and a specialist orthopedic consultation with an ultrasound typically runs $70. The clinic is known for its specialized foot and ankle surgery ward and the use of the Biodex System 4 Pro for advanced rehabilitation.
Advanced diagnostics for foot disorders
The clinic uses precise tools to identify the cause of flatfoot and determine if the condition is flexible or rigid. Patients receive a clear plan after undergoing specific tests. The diagnostic process includes:
- Orthopedic consultation. A physical exam to assess foot structure and mobility.
- Computer foot exam (baropodometry). This test measures pressure distribution on the soles during standing and walking.
- Weight-bearing X-ray. Images taken while the patient stands to show how the arch behaves under pressure.
- Ultrasound of the foot. Used to evaluate tendons, especially the posterior tibial tendon.
- Gait analysis. Observation of the foot and ankle movement during motion.
Surgical and conservative treatment options
Treatment at the clinic is led by experts like Prof. Henryk Liszka, who serves as a board member of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS). He specializes in minimally invasive techniques that allow for faster recovery. The clinic offers several correction methods:
- Subtalar implant (HyproCure). A minimally invasive procedure for children over 3 and adults. A small implant is placed in the tarsal sinus to correct the arch while keeping the joint mobile.
- Calcaneal osteotomy. A surgery where the heel bone is shifted to correct misalignment.
- Achilles tendon lengthening. This percutaneous procedure uses small incisions to restore foot flexibility.
- Posterior tibial tendon repair. Surgeons shorten or strengthen the tendon to restore support to the arch.
- Arthrodesis. A fusion of joints using screws or plates for patients with rigid flatfoot and arthritis.
- Orthopedic insoles. The SIDAS system provides custom-molded insoles to support the foot arch without surgery.
Recovery and hospital stay
Most surgical procedures for flat feet are performed in the day-surgery ward. This allows patients to return home shortly after the operation. For procedures like the HyproCure implant, patients can typically begin walking after 4-6 weeks. The clinic uses specialized rehabilitation protocols to help patients regain strength and correct their gait after surgery.

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.
