Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology

The Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department is a wide-reaching department that serves people with pathologies, from the primary care level, in consultations carried out within the Department and local outpatient centres, to the most complex level of orthopaedic and traumatological pathologies. We work with all surgical techniques, and specialise in adapting the techniques we use. We can boast a long tradition and high level of prestige at all levels: local, regional, state and internationally.

The National Health System has designated the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital as a reference centre (CSUR) in Children's Orthopedics, Pelvic Osteotomy in Adult Hip Dysplasia, Treatment of Adult and Pediatric Resistant Osteoarticular Infections, and Children's Heart Transplant.
