Private Orthopaedic Care in Torrevieja
If you are looking for a private orthopaedic surgeon in Torrevieja, our team provides specialist assessment for joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis and conditions that may require surgical consideration. Torrevieja is one of the main hubs for international residents on the southern Costa Blanca, and our consultations in the Torrevieja area provide direct access to specialist orthopaedic assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning in English, Spanish and Italian.
Our Medical Team and Specialties
Traumatology Team is a coordinated specialist network led by Dr. Pablo Banchero, orthopaedic surgeon. We cover knee, hip, shoulder and spine problems, sports injuries, joint replacement, arthroscopy, regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Each patient is assessed by the most appropriate specialist for their condition, with treatment planning tailored to their individual situation, lifestyle and expectations.
Assessment of Knee, Hip, Shoulder and Spine Pain
Joint and spine pain can have many causes — osteoarthritis, labral or meniscal tears, tendinopathy, impingement, nerve compression or instability, among others. A careful clinical assessment, supported when appropriate by ultrasound, X-ray or MRI, allows an accurate diagnosis and an individualised plan rather than a generic answer. We explain what is causing the problem, what can be done without surgery, and when an operation may be appropriate.
Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery
When conservative treatment is no longer sufficient, minimally invasive arthroscopy or joint-preserving surgery may be appropriate for selected knee, hip and shoulder problems. Where the joint is badly damaged, joint replacement may be discussed. The decision is individualised: no patient is pushed toward surgery, but no one is made to exhaust every possible injection when an operation is clearly indicated.
Hip and Knee Replacement
For advanced arthritis or structural joint failure, hip and knee replacement can restore comfort and function. Planning considers your anatomy, bone quality, activity and expectations, and the choice of implant, fixation and bearing is individualised — there is no single 'best' prosthesis for everyone. Our related Knowledge Centre articles cover when surgery is appropriate, how implants are selected and how recovery is managed.
Sports Medicine and Regenerative Treatments
Sports injuries — ligament, meniscal, tendon and cartilage problems — are assessed and managed with a goal of safe return to activity. Regenerative options such as PRP and hyaluronic acid are used selectively where evidence supports them, not as a cure-all. Each recommendation is explained in plain terms, including realistic expectations and limitations.
Second Opinion Before Surgery
If you have been recommended an operation and want a specialist review, a second opinion is a responsible and routine step. We assess your history, imaging and previous treatment, confirm whether surgery is appropriate, discuss alternatives, and — if surgery is indicated — explain the planned approach, risks and recovery in detail.

Not every orthopaedic problem requires surgery. Following an individual assessment, appropriate options may include conservative management, targeted procedures or surgery when clinically indicated.
