doc. Dominik Sojak

I graduated from the Medical University of Gdańsk in 2010. I obtained the title of specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Musculoskeletal System in 2018. after completing his residency at the Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery at the Copernicus Hospital in Gdańsk. While working in the Department, I gained extensive experience in the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.

I am particularly interested in sports medicine and minimally invasive and joint-sparing treatment for degenerative disease and post-traumatic dysfunctions. For almost 10 years I was a doctor for the first team of Lechia Gdańsk, I also dealt with athletes of other disciplines, such as handball, volleyball and martial arts.

Currently, I perform surgical procedures in the field of arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder and ankle joint, where, in addition to the treatment of post-traumatic lesions, I also perform reconstruction procedures of cartilage defects. I perform repair and reconstruction procedures for muscle and tendon injuries, such as Achilles tendon ruptures and bone fusion surgeries.

Surgical treatment is the last resort and decisions are made only after conservative methods have been used or are not possible. Very often, I start the treatment of my patients with rehabilitation. In the orthopedic office,I perform injections hyaluronic acid preparations because I believe that the most natural and least invasive treatment methods are the best.

I am a member of the Polish Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology, the Polish Shoulder and Elbow Society, and the Polish Arthroscopic Society. During many years of work, I constantly improve my competences by participating in numerous symposia, courses and conferences, also as a speaker:
