Tibie osteotomy with reconstruction in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Tibial osteotomy with reconstruction at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, is a surgical procedure designed to preserve the knee joint and delay replacement for 5 to 20 years. This treatment corrects the alignment of the leg to shift weight away from damaged cartilage. The hospital specializes in orthopedic care and uses stable titanium locking plates to allow for faster recovery.
Advanced Surgical Approaches
Surgeons at Nowa Ortopedia perform two main types of high tibial osteotomy (HTO). The medial opening wedge is the most common method, requiring only a single bone cut through a small 3–4 cm incision. This approach allows for very precise adjustments during surgery and makes it easier to perform ligament reconstructions at the same time. The lateral closing wedge method is also available, offering fast bone healing and high stability without the need for bone grafts.
Expert Orthopedic Team
The surgical team includes several specialists with memberships in international medical organizations. Dr. Grzegorz Jarosławski is a member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society and the International Federation of Sports Medicine. Dr. Amadeusz Skiba belongs to the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy. The team also includes Dr. Tomasz Pardała and Dr. Radosław Wojtas, who specializes in arthroscopic knee surgery and cartilage restoration.
Recovery and Results
Patient care begins with prehabilitation to strengthen the joint before the operation. Surgeons use a posturograph to calculate the exact correction angle needed for each patient. Most surgeries use a titanium locking plate, which allows patients to begin walking with crutches the day after the procedure. You can expect the following recovery timeline:
- Physiotherapy: Starts on day 1 after surgery
- Full weight bearing: Usually achieved within 4 to 6 weeks
- Return to sports: Typically possible after 4 to 6 months if combined with ligament reconstruction
This procedure is a vital option for active patients who want to avoid or postpone a total knee replacement while maintaining an active lifestyle. To learn more about treatment options in Kraków, you may leave a request on Bookimed.

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.
