Orthopedic and trauma surgery
Surgical management of fractures and joint injuries, with arthroscopy and minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Ismael Moreno Castillo
Orthopedic & Trauma SurgeryDr. Moreno Castillo is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and member of FEMECOT, trained in joint surgery and arthroscopy at CEMTRO Madrid. He treats fractures, sports injuries, and joint conditions of the knee, shoulder, and spine, with a strong track record of patient-reported satisfaction across hundreds of verified reviews.
Fracture Fixation (ORIF)
-71%Internal fixation with plates or screws to set a fracture — used for collarbone, wrist, forearm, humerus, tibia, or femur breaks. This stabilizes the bone so it can heal properly, often letting you move sooner than a cast alone would allow.
Hip Replacement
Replacement of a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant, typically for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage. Most patients walk with assistance within a day and return to daily activities over the following weeks.
Knee Replacement
Replacement of a worn or damaged knee joint with a prosthetic implant, relieving chronic pain and restoring mobility. Rehabilitation typically begins the same day to support a faster recovery.
Knee Arthroscopy
-53%Minimally invasive camera-guided surgery to diagnose and treat knee injuries, such as a torn meniscus or ligament damage. Small incisions mean less pain and a faster return to activity than open joint surgery.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive camera-guided surgery to diagnose and treat shoulder injuries, such as rotator cuff tears or impingement. It allows for precise treatment with a shorter recovery than open surgery.
