Antonio Bach Buendia

Dr. Antonio Bach Buendia is a senior consultant traumatologist (Cirugia Ortopedica y Traumatologia) at Hospital Sanitas Universitario Virgen del Mar in Madrid. He is named as Jefe de Servicio in the Sanitas Cuadro Medico for traumatology at Virgen del Mar, working alongside fellow heads of service Dr. Vicente Angel Diez Vazquez and Dr. Primitivo Gomez Cardero. His consulting work covers the full range of musculoskeletal medicine and surgery handled by a Sanitas-network traumatology team.

Areas of practice

As part of the Instituto de Traumatologia at Virgen del Mar, Dr. Bach Buendia sees patients across general traumatology, joint and bone pathology, sports injuries and post-surgical follow-up. The wider Virgen del Mar traumatology team is organised into sub-units covering hip, knee, shoulder and upper limb, spine, foot, fractures, paediatric and adolescent trauma, and sports medicine, with an in-house rehabilitation service to manage recovery without changing centre. For Sanitas patients, that means most musculoskeletal cases - from a torn meniscus to a complex fracture to long-term degenerative joint disease - can be diagnosed, operated and rehabilitated under one roof.

Hospital Sanitas Virgen del Mar runs an in-house Unidad de Cirugia Ortopedica Robotica, one of the few Sanitas-network sites in Madrid offering robotic-assisted joint surgery, which is relevant for total knee and hip replacements where precision of implant alignment improves long-term outcomes.

Sanatorio Quirurgico Virgen del Mar - Consultas Externas
Calle Nuestra Senora de Lujan 25, Madrid - secondary consulting site for outpatient appointments

Hospital Virgen del Mar sits in the Las Rozas / Aravaca corridor on the western edge of the M-30, with on-site parking, A&E and full inpatient facilities. The Honduras 14 site replaced the older Lujan 25 hospital as the main inpatient base, but outpatient consultations still run from both addresses depending on the consultant and the day of the week.

Booking through Sanitas

Sanitas members can book through the Sanitas app, or by calling Hospital Virgen del Mar on 913 539 500. Specify Dr. Bach Buendia and traumatology when booking. Most Sanitas plans cover traumatology consultations and routine procedures; copayments apply on Sanitas Mas Salud Plus, while plans without copayment cover consultations in full. Surgical procedures, MRI, CT and certain specialist tests usually require pre-authorisation - confirm cover with Sanitas before scheduling, particularly for elective joint replacement or arthroscopic surgery.

Why see a Sanitas traumatologist at Virgen del Mar

For Sanitas members in west Madrid - Las Rozas, Aravaca, Pozuelo, Majadahonda, Boadilla - Hospital Virgen del Mar is the closest full-service Sanitas hospital, which matters for traumatology because most musculoskeletal cases benefit from continuity between consultation, imaging, surgery and rehabilitation at the same site. The on-site robotic surgery unit, in-house rehabilitation service and 24-hour A&E mean a torn ligament caught on a Saturday afternoon doesn't have to wait until Monday and doesn't have to bounce between centres for follow-up. Going through the Sanitas network rather than the public Servicio Madrileno de Salud also means you choose your consultant rather than being assigned one based on postcode.
