About Me

I am a graduate of the Medical University of Warsaw, which I completed in 2012. I carried out my specialisation in orthopaedics and trauma surgery of the musculoskeletal system at the Military Institute of Medicine in Warsaw, at 128 Szaserów Street, under the guidance of Piotr Piekarczyk, MD and Jarosław Pawlik, MD.

After completing my specialisation and passing the specialist exam, I continued working at the Military Institute of Medicine - National Research Institute, in the Mazovian Trauma Centre. There, I dealt with the treatment of complex multi-site musculoskeletal injuries and also served as an orthopaedic consultant in the Clinical Intensive Care Unit.

In my daily practice, both in emergency and planned settings, I diagnose and treat patients with various orthopaedic conditions. I strive to restore functionality and quality of life after injuries, offering comprehensive and individually tailored medical care.

Scope of performed operations

Upper limb:

• ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) of clavicle and scapula fractures
• Stabilisation of acromioclavicular joint dislocations with a hook plate
• ORIF/CRIF of proximal, shaft, and distal humerus fractures
• ORIF of radial and ulnar fractures, including intra-articular and extra-articular elbow fractures
• ORIF/CRIF of wrist fractures, scaphoid, metacarpal, and phalangeal fractures
• Repair of rotator cuff tears
• Reconstruction of a torn biceps tendon using an endobutton
• Suturing of elbow collateral ligaments and the triceps tendon
• Removal of loose bodies from the elbow joint

Lower limb:

• ORIF/CRIF of proximal, shaft, and distal femur fractures
• ORIF/CRIF of patella fractures and proximal, shaft, and distal tibia fractures
• Treatment of ankle fractures (fibula, bimalleolar, trimalleolar) and syndesmosis injuries
• Surgery for pilon fractures (distal tibia fractures)
• Surgery for fractures of the talus, calcaneus, tarsus, metatarsals, and foot phalanges
• Treatment of quadriceps tendon ruptures, patellar ligament ruptures, knee collateral ligament injuries, MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) reconstruction, Fulkerson procedure, and Achilles tendon ruptures

Other procedures:

• Surgery for non-unions and removal of pseudoarthroses with re-fixation and bone grafting (allogeneic or autologous from the iliac crest)
• Removal of osteochondromas
• Joint arthrodesis (ankle, wrist, or metatarsophalangeal joint fusion)
• Removal of orthopaedic implants (plates, screws, nails)

Other injection treatments for the musculoskeletal system:

• PRP therapy is a concentrate of platelets derived from the patient's blood, rich in growth factors that aid regenerative processes and tissue healing.
• Hyaluronic acid therapy involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into joints or tissues to improve their function, relieve pain, and support regeneration. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural component found in the body, primarily in connective tissue, skin, and joint fluid. In joints, it acts as a natural "lubricant" and shock absorber, protecting the joint surfaces from wear. The use of HA preparations is applied in regenerative medicine.
• Orthokine therapy uses autologous anti-inflammatory proteins derived from the patient's blood, primarily used in treating degenerative joint diseases, inflammations, and chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system. The Orthokine procedure is popular in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and the treatment of joint and muscle injuries. It is distinguished by a particularly high concentration of anti-inflammatory proteins, which help inhibit inflammatory processes and support tissue regeneration.
• GOLDIC therapy (Gold-Induced Cytokines) is an innovative treatment method that uses autologous cytokines induced by gold. This therapy is mainly used in sports medicine, orthopaedics, and in treating inflammatory conditions and degenerative joint diseases. GOLDIC is based on the stimulation of stem cells and the induction of anti-inflammatory factors that support tissue regeneration.
• SVF therapy (stromal vascular fraction) is derived from adipose tissue and contains stem cells. SVF is particularly valued in regenerative medicine for its potential reparative and regenerative properties.

I focus on restoring patients' mobility, selecting methods and therapies tailored to each patient's individual needs.
