I invite you to choose to have an operation at our modern Cracow facilities. I specialize in procedures done on the knee joint and shoulder. As a sports doctor caring for the Youth Team of the Polish Football Association, I generally conduct less invasional arthroscopic procedures of these joints. My goal is the quick return to activity of my patients, who often are athletes.
I focus on prevention and treatment of damage to the joint cartilage using modern techniques of cartilage reconstruction (tissue chondrocytes cultivation, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cells – in keeping with the guidelines of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). I also invite you to have a knee or hip endoprosthesis implant – in comfortable facilities and a pleasant environment, with good pain management under the care of a well-chosen staff. My patients always remain under the care of high class rehabilitation specialists. Below I present photos of the clinic where I treat my patients.
Read below about all orthopedics and injury surgery procedures:
Knee arthroscopy - the full spectrum of procedures. Minimally invasional reconstructive surgery with an emphasis on up-to-date treatment of the joint cartilage.

- reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
- reconstruction of cartilage loss using various operational techniques currently practised worldwide (scaffolds, collagen membranes, hyaluronic membranes, chondrocyte cultivation)
- treatment of injuries to the meniscus – surgical repair of the meniscus, mensicectomy (removal of the meniscus)
- joint cartilage surgery, micro fracture surgery, drilling
- synovectomy (surgical removal of a part of the synovial membrane)
- removal of folds in the synovial membrane, lysis of adhesions, loose body removal
- arthroscopy for degenerative arthritis of the knee joint - debridement, surgery, lavage – allows for reduction in pain symptoms, increases movement and improves the quality of life
Endoprosthesis of the knee and hip (endoprosthesoplasty, alloplasty of the knee and hip joint).
