Orthopaedic surgery is the surgical discipline related to the treatment of conditions of the locomotor apparatus, typically of a degenerative, osteoarthritic, inflammatory or tramautologic nature generally caused by trauma from road, domestic or work related accidents, or even as a result of gunshot or fire woulds.
The main objective of the orthopaedic surgeon is to make an accurate diagnosis of the patient, selecting the least invasive type of treatment possible and if necessary to provide for the resolution of the condition through a surgical intervention, restoring the locomotor capability to the best possible degree.
Orthopaedic therapy and specifically orthopaedic services offered in Milan have grown significantly in recent years and are based on a refined choice of materials and increasing knowledge of the related technologies. This has helped improve the stability of metal osteosynthesis and has facilitated the increasingly better functionality of joint prosthesis. These prosthesis are made using materials borrowed from the aerospace industry (such as ceramics, plastics etc.) that have unusual mechanical properties and maximum local tolerance.
Our orthopaedic centre in Milan stands out for the level of professionalism, as well as the technical expertise offered. Our orthopaedic surgeons perform more than 3,000 surgeries per year covering all pathologies of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand, foot, spine and general trauma.
For more complex interventions that cannot be carried out in a day hospital regime, our new wards allow patients to be admitted in a single room (with payment of the accommodation difference covered by the patient) or in a double room, both with a private bathroom and guaranteeing a high standard of comfort that allow the patient to benefit from a tranquil and safe port-surgical care.
