Stem Cell Therapy in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Stem cell therapy at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, is a biological treatment used to repair joint damage and manage early-stage arthrosis. The procedure typically runs around $1,000 for one joint or $1,300 for two joints. This therapy is known for using the patient's own cells, which removes the risk of rejection and helps preserve natural joint function.
Treatment Process and Methods
The clinic uses multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCC) to help heal tissues. Doctors collect these cells from the patient’s bone marrow in the iliac crest or from fat tissue. This collection happens under local anesthesia before the injection. The entire procedure is fast, usually taking only 30 to 40 minutes.
For patients with cartilage damage, the clinic offers an optional Hyalofast hyaluronic membrane. This acts as a scaffold to support new cell growth. The treatment is effective for several conditions:
- Early-stage arthrosis in the knees, hips, or shoulders.
- Partial ligament tears that do not require full surgery.
- Partial meniscus tears in the knee joint.
- Tendon repairs and chronic inflammation.
Recovery and Results
Recovery after the injection follows a specific protocol to help the cells work. Patients must rest the treated joint for about 4 weeks. It is important to avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during this time. Physiotherapy is also recommended to improve joint movement and biomechanics. Because the cells are autologous, the body accepts the treatment naturally.
Expert Orthopedic Care
Dr. Grzegorz Jarosławski leads the biological therapy treatments at Nowa Ortopedia. He is an orthopedic surgeon who focuses on sports medicine and traumatology. Dr. Jarosławski is a member of the International Society of Sports Medicine and the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society. He specializes in using platelet-rich plasma and stem cell concentrates to treat joint injuries. The clinic houses a team of 18 doctors focused on orthopedics and rehabilitation.

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.
