Valgus Deformity Treatment in The Holy Family High Specialty Hospital

Valgus deformity care at The Holy Family High Specialty Hospital in Rudna Mała near Rzeszów, Poland, includes foot surgery and rehabilitation. A private orthopaedic consultation may cost around $70–$90, while arthroscopy may cost around $5,000. The clinic uses a Multitom Rax 3D scanner to measure leg alignment under weight-bearing conditions.

Dr. Marek Kulczyk, an orthopaedics and traumatology specialist, heads the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of the Locomotor System. The department hosts international orthopaedists for training in reconstructive surgery and joint replacement. The hospital holds accreditation from Poland’s Minister of Health and has ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.

Diagnosis with Multitom Rax 3D imaging

Assessment can include an orthopaedic consultation and imaging to examine the foot, ankle, and lower limbs. Weight-bearing X-rays show leg alignment and support surgical planning.

• Orthopaedic consultation: Private consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon.
• X-rays: Imaging of the feet, ankle joints, and lower limbs, including stress views and weight-bearing images.
• Other tests: CT, MRI, ultrasound, EMG nerve testing, and laboratory diagnostics.

DePrado correction and foot rehabilitation

Surgical options include minimally invasive correction of hallux valgus using the DePrado technique. Corrective surgery also treats congenital or post-traumatic foot deformities.

• Hallux and hammer toe correction: Corrective foot surgery is offered without plaster casts.
• Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive procedures can treat ankle and foot joints and soft tissues.
• Foot joint replacement: Arthroplasty uses a prosthesis matched to the patient’s anatomy.
• PRP and Cellular Matrix therapy: Ultrasound-guided treatment can support bone union and soft-tissue healing as an addition to surgery.
• Orthopaedic rehabilitation: Inpatient or outpatient plans are set by a rehabilitation physician, physiotherapist, and operating orthopaedist. They may include manual therapy, exercises, CPM, treadmill biofeedback, gait training, and crutch practice.

The hospital also has bioabsorbable Magnezix magnesium-alloy implants, which avoid implant-removal surgery. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.
