Rotator cuff tear Treatment in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Nowa Ortopedia - Szpital Dworska in Kraków, Poland, provides advanced surgical care for rotator cuff tears using high-definition imaging systems. The clinic offers various options, where a consultation costs around $80, a dynamic ultrasound typically runs $100, and arthroscopic surgery may cost between $2,400 and $3,400 plus implants. Dr. Hubert Laprus, an orthopedic surgeon who completed his doctoral dissertation, performs these procedures in a dedicated day-surgery ward.
Diagnostic services for shoulder pain
Precision diagnostics help the surgical team determine the exact location and size of the tendon tear. The clinic uses digital imaging and physical assessments to create a personalized treatment plan. Patients receive the following options:
- Orthopedic consultation. A physical exam with a specialist to check range of motion and pain levels.
- Shoulder ultrasound. A dynamic scan that allows the doctor to see the tendon moving in real-time.
- MRI of the shoulder. High-resolution imaging to identify internal damage not visible on X-rays.
- Digital X-ray and CT scan. Detailed bone imaging to rule out fractures or assess joint structure.
- Biodex System 4 Pro. An isokinetic muscle assessment used to measure shoulder strength and imbalances.
Surgical treatment options
Dr. Hubert Laprus performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by reinserting torn tendons into the bone using suture anchors. This minimally invasive method uses Stryker HD arthroscopy columns for clear visualization. For more complex or irreparable cases, the clinic provides several alternatives:
- Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. A minimally invasive procedure that allows for faster rehabilitation.
- Mini-open and open repair. Techniques used for large or chronic tears that require a direct surgical approach.
- Rotator cuff reconstruction with biceps augmentation. This method uses the patient's own biceps tendon to strengthen the repair.
- Synthetic patch (Pith-Patch). An implant used to reinforce large or complex tendon tears.
- Balloon spacer implantation. A biodegradable spacer inserted to treat irreparable tears without joint replacement.
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty. A joint replacement option for patients with severe cuff arthropathy.
Surgical package and recovery
The cost for arthroscopic surgery typically includes anesthesia care, nursing support, hospital medications, and meals. Implants, such as suture anchors or balloon spacers, may cost an additional $400 to $900. To support recovery, the clinic uses Game Ready cold compression therapy to reduce post-operative swelling and pain. Each patient follows an individual physiotherapy plan to regain mobility. While most procedures are performed in the day-surgery ward, an overnight stay can be arranged if necessary.
If you are experiencing shoulder instability or pain, you can request a consultation with an orthopedic specialist at Nowa Ortopedia through the Bookimed platform.

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.
