Specialized in knee surgery
The knee is a fundamental joint in the musculoskeletal system, essential for both athletes, who require explosiveness, changes of direction, and stability for high-level performance, and elderly individuals, where its functionality is crucial to maintaining autonomy and quality of life.
Its complex biomechanics and the constant load it endures - approximately three times body weight when climbing stairs and up to eight times when jumping - make it particularly susceptible to both traumatic and degenerative conditions, requiring a specialized and personalized therapeutic approach.
Areas of expertise
Total hip and knee replacement, knee arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine, upper and lower limb traumatology, forensic medical examination.
I deal with two joint groups such as hip and knee, as well as lower and upper limb traumatology, offering specialist assessments followed by a targeted diagnostic path and a gradual and progressive therapeutic approach.
To this, which is the core of my clinical activity, I associate second opinions for complex cases and legal or insurance reports.
Patient involvement, updated treatment and clear communication are the three pillars of my medical practice.

Patient services
1
Specialist evaluation
Evaluation and taking charge of the patient with his problems from the specific cause in the orthopedic field to the functional consequences on private and working life. I put the individual at the center of my analysis and, secondly, the pathology.
2
Second Opinion
Having a second opinion is a right and sometimes a burden. Meticulousness and clarity of communication are the pillars necessary to retrace the patient's clinical history with neutrality and effectiveness. I am available to give you a super partes point of view.

Expert reports
The discrepancy of expectations between two interlocutors in the medical field is a source of tension. An impartial and scrupulous approach allows the people involved to have the best possible result. I am Swiss Insurance Medicine certified and regularly carry out expert reports for third parties.
