Clinical focus
What orthopedic and trauma conditions can be assessed?
Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta provides assessment and treatment planning across orthopedic trauma, hand and upper-limb conditions, nerve-related problems, joint replacement and minimally invasive procedures where clinically appropriate.
For people considering ACL reconstruction, an initial consultation can focus on the history of the injury, current symptoms, imaging or reports already available, activity goals and suitable treatment options. The aim is a clear, personalised plan rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Where another specialist, imaging study or additional assessment is appropriate, Dr. Fores can discuss referral options during the consultation. Treatment decisions should always follow a personalised clinical evaluation.

ACL reconstruction
What does an ACL reconstruction consultation involve?
An ACL reconstruction consultation is an opportunity to review the injury, discuss symptoms and goals, and understand the assessment and treatment-planning process.
ACL reconstruction is a surgical treatment option that may be considered after a specialist assessment of a knee injury or ligament problem. It is not automatically the right option for every person, and the appropriate pathway depends on the individual clinical situation.
During a consultation, Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta can review relevant information, discuss the evaluation process and explain the considerations involved in treatment planning. Patients are encouraged to bring previous reports, imaging or specialist letters where available.
If urgent or worsening symptoms occur, patients should seek appropriate urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.
