Clinical focus
What orthopedic and trauma conditions can be assessed?
Dr. Fores Vineta assesses orthopedic trauma, hand and upper-limb concerns, nerve-related conditions, and selected joint conditions. Each consultation is used to understand the individual situation and plan appropriate next steps.

Your visit
What should a patient expect during an initial consultation?
An initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss symptoms, prior treatment, diagnostic results, and personal goals. Dr. Fores Vineta can then explain suitable assessment or treatment-planning options.
During an initial consultation, patients can expect a careful discussion of their medical history, current symptoms, previous injuries or surgery, and any imaging or reports they bring. The purpose is to establish a clear understanding of the concern before discussing possible next steps.
Depending on the situation, the consultation may involve a clinical examination, review of diagnostic material, discussion of treatment options, and planning for recovery. Where a condition requires another specialty or service, referral where appropriate can be discussed.
For urgent or worsening symptoms, patients should seek appropriate urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.

Multidisciplinary support team
A multidisciplinary support team can help coordinate care around diagnostics, treatment planning, and recovery. This may be particularly useful for patients arranging care from abroad.
Insurance and payment
Patients with insurance may enquire about coverage and payment arrangements. Coverage, reimbursement, and billing arrangements depend on the insurer and individual policy, so patients should confirm details directly with their insurer and the clinic.
Second opinions
How do I request a second opinion?
Patients can request a second opinion through the Traumatologia Barcelona contact page. The consultation can focus on a review of the clinical situation and available diagnostic information.
A second opinion may be helpful for patients who want an independent review of a diagnosis, treatment plan, surgical recommendation, or recovery pathway. It can also be useful for international patients who are considering treatment in Barcelona.
When requesting a second opinion, patients may be asked to provide relevant medical information, such as referral letters, imaging reports, operative notes, or previous test results. The clinic can advise on what information is helpful before the appointment.
A second opinion is an assessment and discussion; it does not replace urgent care. For urgent or worsening symptoms, patients should seek appropriate urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.
