THE PATIENT IS THE PROTAGONIST
We treat patients with dysplasias and bone malformations, so we focus on the person as a whole, not just their pathology, ailment, and/or disease. Our healthcare activity is aimed at caring for the patient and their immediate surroundings throughout the entire process with psychological support.
Pathologies
Bone dysplasias, skeletal dysplasias, or osteochondrodysplasias are part of a diverse group of bone diseases characterized by their impact on bone growth and composition.

These knee prostheses are designed to adapt to every aspect of the patient’s natural knee anatomy. This new technique is the only technology that maintains both union lines by using customized polyethylenes, which reduce wear and provide better adaptation to the knee’s natural movements.
Prosthetic surgery for adult patients with dysplasia requires tailored planning and specific implant selection due to the size and shape of their joints. A wide range of options is available, as there are no agreements or dependencies with commercial companies, allowing the selection of the most suitable implant for each case. Moreover, customized implants can be created following prior planning.

At ICATRECON – ICATME – Hospital Universitari Quirón-Dexeus, we have a tissue bank authorized by the Banc de Sang i Teixits de Catalunya and a clean room for preparing autologous biological compounds (derived from the patient’s blood or bone marrow aspirations), which can be applied immediately during surgical procedures.
At ICATRECON/ICATME, we employ the most advanced imaging diagnostic systems for evaluating bone injuries, including 3D reconstructions. These enable detailed planning for reconstruction using the most advanced and suitable osteosynthesis systems for each case.
