Orthopaedics and traumatology cover conditions affecting bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Problems may result from injury, overuse, sports activity, degenerative change or a condition that has gradually reduced mobility and everyday function.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include rehabilitation, specialist injections, arthroscopy, reconstructive surgery, corrective foot surgery or joint replacement. The final recommendation is made by the treating specialist following an individual assessment and review of appropriate imaging.

Orthopaedic care in Poland may be eligible for HSE reimbursement
Under the EU Cross Border Healthcare Directive, eligible patients living in Ireland may receive qualifying healthcare in another EU country and apply to the HSE for reimbursement. Eligibility, documentation requirements and the reimbursable amount depend on the exact consultation or treatment and the patient’s individual circumstances.
Confirm the current HSE requirements and obtain the appropriate Irish referral before beginning treatment where required.
The orthopaedic specialist reviews symptoms, examination findings, imaging and previous treatment before recommending a plan.
Patients normally pay the provider and then submit the required medical and payment documents to the HSE.
*Reimbursement is assessed by the HSE and is not guaranteed. Requirements may change. Patients should verify current eligibility, referral and prior-notification requirements before arranging treatment.
Would you like to ask about orthopaedic treatment in Poland?
Tell us which joint or condition is affecting you, how long you have been waiting, and whether you have an MRI, X-ray, medical report or referral. We can help you explore a suitable specialist consultation and the practical next steps.
The appropriate treatment depends on your diagnosis and goals
A procedure should not be selected from symptoms or an imaging report alone. The specialist considers your medical history, clinical examination, movement, stability, imaging, previous treatment and the effect of the condition on everyday life.
How the treatment journey usually works
Every case is individual, but the initial pathway generally follows four practical stages.
Send an enquiry
Describe the condition, diagnosis, waiting time and previous treatment, and provide available reports where requested.
Specialist review
We help identify a suitable clinic and arrange an online, telephone or in-person consultation where available.
Treatment plan
The clinic confirms the proposed procedure, tests, price, expected stay and individual recovery requirements.
Travel and treatment
Appointments are coordinated, with practical help concerning local accommodation, transfers and documentation where needed.
Recovery is planned around the procedure performed
Recovery may range from a relatively short period after a minor day-case procedure to several months after reconstruction, corrective surgery or joint replacement. The treating team provides individual instructions.
