Acute Hospitalizations – Via Marcona Office

Orthopedics

THEOrthopedics and Traumatology Unit It is a cutting-edge department in the treatment of the main orthopedic pathologies. It employs highly specialized orthopedic surgeons in surgical techniques for each individual joint area. The outpatient service, every day of the week.

The patient is followed throughout his journey starting from clinical and instrumental diagnosis until'surgery with the consequent postoperative course and setting the correct rehabilitation program.

Arthroscopic surgery

THEarthroscopy allows for a precise and tangible evaluation of the intra-articular components causing minimal trauma to the soft tissues, less mobility, fewer post-operative complications and a faster rehabilitation compared to open procedures.

This approach is fundamental in the treatment of traumatic injuries to athletes and of the ldegenerative lesions of the subject over 50. The indications for arthroscopy are both diagnostic and therapeutic.

Knee Arthroscopy

meniscal injuries
ligament injuries (anterior and posterior cruciate ligament)
chondral lesions
chondromalacia
side release
movable bodies
synovitis
synovial fold
infections
painful knee replacement
knee pain with edema resistant to usual conservative treatment

Shoulder Arthroscopy

partial and complete lesions of the CDR (rotator cuff)
tenosynovitis of the CLB (long head of the biceps)
uni- and multi-directional instability
laxity problems
symptomatic tears of the glenoid labrum (SLAP lesion)
refractory adhesive capsulitis
osteochondritis dissecans
movable bodies
synovectomies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
acromioclavicular joint problems

Prosthetic surgery

La prosthetic surgery intervenes in the treatment of pathologies degenerative (which affect most of the population over 60) and post-traumatic (road accidents, accidental falls, etc.).

They are usually implanted:

hip arthroplasty
total or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
patellofemoral arthroplasty
shoulder arthroplasty
trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty (hand)

Indications include:

Primary osteoarthritis
Revisions of previous prostheses
Rheumatoid arthritis
Fracture outcomes
Aseptic and septic mobilizations
Painful prostheses
Necrosis

The prosthetic implant has the purpose of eliminate pain, restore function e ensure durability over timeIt is important to proceed with the preoperative evaluation of the patient which must include a clear description and documentation of risks/benefits.

The expectations of the patient and the surgeon must be explicitly defined and the rehabilitation program post-operative care and its fundamental importance in the overall outcome.
