The most commonly treated pathologies are: hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, fractures, rheumatic diseases and femoroacetabular impingement, among others. The main treatments used are: total hip prosthesis, hip prosthesis replacements and osteosynthesis, although in recent years arthroscopic techniques and minimally invasive surgery have advanced considerably and are also performed at Lenox. This unit is formed by Dr. Morales de Cano and Dr. Delgado López.

Shoulder Unit

Some of them are: congenital hip dislocation, clubfoot, gait disturbances, flat feet, congenital hand malformations and lameness.

Dr. García Fontecha is the specialist of reference in this unit.

Hand and elbow unit

Hand and elbow surgery must be very meticulous and minimally invasive to avoid loss of balance in movements. One of the main objectives of this unit is the thorough clinical study in order to offer the optimal treatment adapted to each case. Some of the most frequently performed procedures are: treatment of rheumatic hand, treatment of neurological compression syndromes, prosthetic hand surgery, arthroscopy, tendon injuries, hyaluronic acid infiltrations and growth factors.

Dr. Pidemunt Molí is the referral specialist in this unit.

Foot and ankle unit

Foot pathology is disabling because of its obvious role in supporting body weight. Pain, deformity and trauma are the most frequent pathologies. The main treatments they perform are percutaneous forefoot surgery, arthroscopy of the ankle and small joints of the foot, hyaluronic acid infiltrations and growth factor therapy, among others. They also treat flat feet, rheumatic foot, pes cavus, Morton’s neuroma, plantar orthoses, diabetic foot, ankle instabilities, osteoarthritis and heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. In most cases, the technique used is performed on an outpatient basis, so that the patient can ambulate from the moment of the intervention.
