Pablo De La Cuadra

Dr. Pablo De La Cuadra is a Madrid–based orthopedic surgeon. He specializes in sports traumatology and shoulder surgery. He chairs a specialized traumatology team at Hospital Ruber Internacional. The surgeon is an expert in arthroscopic and reconstructive techniques for recurrent dislocations and rotator cuff injuries.

Specialization and Clinical Focus

Dr. De La Cuadra treats musculoskeletal conditions, focusing on active patients and professional athletes. He uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to repair ligaments and reconstruct joints with precision. This approach reduces tissue damage. As a result, it helps patients return to their activities faster.

The doctor treats various conditions, including:

• Torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and meniscus tears
• Shoulder instability and habitual dislocations
• Rotator cuff injuries and shoulder ligament tears
• Calcific tendinitis and frozen shoulder
• Ankle, knee, and hip osteoarthritis
• Carpal tunnel syndrome and hand injuries

Surgical Expertise

Dr. De La Cuadra acts as the reference specialist for shoulder injuries in his unit, where he performs high–volume reconstructive procedures. He applies advanced imaging for precision diagnosis and treats complex bone and joint trauma. Furthermore, he uses regenerative therapies, such as Platelet–Rich Plasma (PRP), to aid healing. PRP involves injecting a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons and ligaments.
