Haglund’s Deformity Treatment in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Treatment for Haglund’s deformity at Nowa Ortopedia in Krakow, Poland, focuses on restoring mobility through expert orthopedic care. A specialist consultation may cost around $130, providing patients with a detailed surgical plan from one of the leading foot experts in Europe. The clinic specializes in minimally invasive techniques to treat the bony bump on the back of the heel.
Prof. Dr. Henryk Liszka leads the dedicated foot and ankle surgery unit at the clinic. He is a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology with over 20 years of experience. As a board member of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS), Prof. Dr. Liszka teaches other surgeons about minimally invasive foot surgery. He has published over 50 scientific papers about foot and ankle reconstruction.
Diagnostics and consultation
The diagnostic process starts with a physical exam and medical history review. Specialists at Nowa Ortopedia use advanced tools like baropodometry to analyze foot pressure and gait. The Biodex System helps evaluate muscle strength and joint function before surgery. A consultation with Prof. Dr. Liszka typically runs $130 to confirm the need for surgical correction.
Surgical treatment for Haglund’s deformity
Surgery aims to remove the painful prominence on the calcaneus bone. Nowa Ortopedia uses a day surgery model, allowing many patients to return home shortly after the procedure. The surgical approach is tailored to the patient:
- Endoscopic resection. This technique uses small incisions and a camera to remove the bone bump.
- Minimally invasive techniques. These methods reduce surgical trauma and help speed up the healing process.
- Open resection. This traditional method is used for more complex heel bone corrections.
- Bone stabilization. Surgeons use I.B.S. screws to fix bone positions when necessary.
- Advanced equipment. The operating rooms feature Stryker HD arthroscopy columns for high-definition visualization during surgery.
Recovery and physiotherapy
Recovery starts immediately after the procedure in the dedicated day surgery ward. Patients typically have their sutures removed after 10–12 days. The clinic uses the Game Ready system, which combines cold therapy and active compression to manage swelling. Physiotherapy is a key part of the recovery plan to help patients return to walking without pain. You can request a consultation or an online video meeting through Bookimed to start your treatment plan.

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.
