Clinical focus
What orthopedic and trauma conditions can be assessed?
Consultations can address injuries, hand and upper-limb concerns, nerve-related symptoms and joint conditions.
Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta provides assessment, evaluation and treatment planning for a range of orthopedic and trauma-related concerns. As a nerve repair specialist, he can discuss peripheral-nerve injury and nerve-related conditions, alongside hand and upper-limb problems that may require specialist review.
Not every concern will require surgery. During a consultation, Dr. Fores can review the available information, discuss appropriate next steps and, where appropriate, arrange referral to another suitable specialist or service.
For patients seeking a nerve repair specialist, a clear clinical conversation matters. The aim is to understand the history of the problem, review relevant examinations or imaging where available, and develop a personalised recovery and treatment plan.
Patients are encouraged to bring prior reports, imaging results, medication information and questions to their appointment. This can help make the consultation more focused and useful.
Your visit
What should a patient expect during an initial consultation?
An initial consultation is designed to understand the concern and plan appropriate next steps.
During an initial consultation at Traumatologia Barcelona, Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta can listen to the patient’s history, review relevant documentation and discuss the concern in detail. The consultation may include an assessment of symptoms, prior treatment, imaging or test results, and the patient’s goals for recovery.
Where a nerve-related condition is being considered, the discussion may focus on the nature and timing of symptoms, previous injuries or procedures, and whether further evaluation or specialist input is appropriate. No diagnosis or treatment advice is provided through this page.
Share your history
Bring or send relevant reports, imaging and questions where available, so the consultation can be as informative as possible.
This helps support a clear discussion of the concern and possible next steps.
Discuss next steps
Dr. Fores can explain whether further assessment, treatment planning, referral or a second opinion may be appropriate.
Care is personalised to the individual clinical situation and patient preferences.
If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or associated with a significant injury, patients should seek appropriate urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.
International care
How can international patients arrange a consultation?
Patients from the UK, the US, Europe and beyond can request an appointment, enquiry or second opinion online.

Multidisciplinary support team

Second opinions
How do I request a second opinion?
A second opinion can provide an independent review of an existing diagnosis, imaging or proposed treatment plan.
Patients can request a second opinion through the Traumatologia Barcelona contact page. Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta can review the information provided and discuss whether further assessment, additional investigation or a different approach to treatment planning may be appropriate.
For a second opinion, it is helpful to include relevant medical reports, imaging results, prior operative notes where available, and a clear description of the concern. The clinic can advise on the most suitable way to submit this information during the enquiry process.
A second opinion does not replace urgent care. If a condition is urgent or worsening, patients should contact local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional without delay.
