Clinical focus
What orthopedic and trauma conditions can be assessed?
Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta provides assessment, evaluation, consultation and treatment planning across orthopedic trauma, hand and upper-limb conditions, joint replacement and selected minimally invasive procedures.
At Traumatologia Barcelona, patients can seek an evaluation for orthopedic trauma and fracture care, hand and upper-limb surgery, tendon repair, and peripheral-nerve injury or nerve-related conditions. Consultations can also address Dupuytren contracture assessment and treatment.
Where clinically appropriate, discussions may include hip and knee replacement or arthroplasty, arthroscopy and minimally invasive procedures. The appropriate approach depends on the individual diagnosis, symptoms, imaging and medical history.
A consultation is an opportunity to review symptoms, prior records and imaging, discuss possible options and agree on an individualised plan. Referral to another appropriate specialist may be recommended where clinically appropriate.

Personalised recovery planning may be discussed as part of the consultation. This can help patients understand what to prepare for, what questions to raise and how care may be coordinated with other healthcare professionals where appropriate.
