The Traumatology and Orthopedic Surgery Department at Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz Hospital offers comprehensive care for the musculoskeletal system.

The traumatology unit of the department specializes in diagnosing and treating injuries to bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and even the skin. Their team of experienced traumatologists can handle a wide range of injuries, including congenital conditions and traumatic accidents.

The orthopedic unit deals with surgical procedures to correct or prevent deformities caused by injuries or other conditions. Doctors of the department offer both traditional minimally invasive surgical techniques using the latest technology, like arthroscopy, computer-assisted surgery (CAS), and robotic surgery.

The department offers comprehensive and personalized treatment procedures to women suffering from any reproductive issue or genital diseases.
