Who we help
A specialist clinic for orthopaedic and trauma concerns
Traumatologia Barcelona supports adults who need clear assessment and a considered plan for an injury, persistent pain, hand problem or joint condition.
Traumatologia Barcelona is a private orthopaedic and trauma clinic in Barcelona for adults seeking specialist evaluation of injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.
The clinic welcomes patients with sports injuries, fractures and fracture-related concerns, chronic pain, hand and upper-limb conditions, nerve-related symptoms, and questions about hip or knee replacement. It also supports international patients who need an assessment, diagnostic review or second opinion while in Barcelona.
Every consultation begins with an individual review of your symptoms, medical history, imaging and treatment goals. Where another specialist, imaging study, therapy programme or urgent assessment is more appropriate, Dr. Fores will explain the recommended next step.
Clinical services
Trauma, hand, nerve and joint care
Services are focused on assessment, treatment planning, surgical care where appropriate, and recovery guidance.
Traumatologia Barcelona provides specialist assessment and treatment planning across orthopaedic trauma, hand and upper-limb surgery, nerve conditions, tendon injuries and selected joint procedures.
Treatment is recommended only after an individual clinical assessment. Some conditions can be managed without surgery; others may require a procedure, rehabilitation or referral to an appropriate specialist.
Conditions assessed
Common concerns we assess
The clinic assesses injuries and conditions affecting bones, joints, tendons, nerves and the hand or upper limb.
Patients commonly attend for assessment of fractures, hand and wrist problems, nerve symptoms, tendon injuries, joint pain and questions about surgery.
- Fractures and injuries following accidents, falls or sports activity
- Hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and upper-limb conditions
- Dupuytren contracture, including assessment of finger bending and hand function
- Peripheral-nerve injuries, nerve compression and nerve-related symptoms
- Tendon injuries and conditions that may require tendon repair
- Hip and knee pain, arthritis-related concerns and joint replacement assessment
- Joint injuries that may be suitable for arthroscopy or a minimally invasive procedure
- Complex or uncertain diagnoses where a second opinion or imaging review may help
If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or associated with major trauma, numbness, loss of circulation or an obvious deformity, seek urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.
How care works
A clear diagnostic and treatment approach
Care begins with listening, examination and a review of the information available, followed by a plan explained in plain language.
The clinic’s approach is to identify the likely cause of symptoms, review relevant imaging and tests, and agree a realistic treatment plan with you.
Assessment
Your consultation includes a discussion of symptoms, injury history, previous treatment, medication and relevant medical information, together with a clinical examination.
Diagnostic review
Existing X-rays, scans or reports can be reviewed. Where further imaging or specialist testing is needed, the clinic explains why and what the next step involves.
Treatment planning
Options may include observation, rehabilitation, medication coordinated with your prescribing clinician, a procedure, surgery or referral where appropriate.
Recovery planning
When treatment is recommended, the plan includes expected recovery stages, follow-up needs and practical guidance tailored to your condition and goals.
