Prosthetic knee surgery

Each person has a unique knee. This is why my approach is based on a personalised assessment,
choosing between the different techniques to ensure the most suitable prosthesis for your needs.

Regain mobility

get back on the move without pain limiting your daily activities. You will be able to walk, climb stairs and enjoy life again without discomfort.

Tailor-made solutions

the customised approach allows for more targeted interventions, minimising trauma to the tissues and accelerating recovery.

Long-lasting stability

modern knee prostheses offer long-term stability and functionality, reducing the need for corrective surgery in the future.

Do you suffer from any of these problems?

Many people suffer from knee pain that significantly limits their quality of life.
The most common problems that may require knee replacement surgery are:

Arthritis of knee

This causes wear and tear of the articular cartilage, leading to chronic pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. This may make everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or sitting down difficult.

Rheumatoid arthritis

This causes chronic joint inflammation, damaging the cartilage and bone of the knee. This results in severe pain, stiffness and joint deformity.

Injuries

Severe injuries such as meniscus or anterior cruciate ligament ruptures can cause instability and chronic knee pain.

Anatomic abnormality

Conditions such as valgus (X-knees) or varus (bowed knees) can cause pain and functional limitations that may benefit from surgical correction

Traditional surgical techniques to resolve these problems can be invasive and involve a lengthy period of recovery. Finding less invasive solutions that can offer a quicker recovery process and fewer complications is therefore essential.

Customised knee surgery

Knee surgery cannot be standardised for every patient. The specific needs of the person must be considered, from their joint structure to their way of life. That is why I carefully analyse each case, applying the most suitable surgical technique each time to ensure the best result. The methods I use include:

• Robotic surgery: robotic systems make it possible to plan the surgery precisely and position the prostheses accurately. This approach reduces trauma to the tissue, accelerates healing and improves long-term results.
• Resurfacing: this procedure preserves most of the bone, replacing only the damaged joint surface. This is ideal for young or active patients because it preserves the natural structure of the knee and promotes a faster recovery period.
• Kinematic realignment: promotes knee alignment, while respecting the patient's anatomy. By positioning the prosthetic components according to the natural motion of the knee, a smoother feeling and better function are achieved after surgery.
•Mechanical realignment: allows prosthetic components to be aligned in relation to the axis of the limb. This helps to distribute forces evenly, ensuring stability and reducing wear and tear of the prosthesis over time.

Sports medicine: solutions for sports injuries

In cases of knee ligament injuries, especially in young people or athletes, the main objective is to preserve the natural structure of the joint as much as possible.

For this reason, one effective technique I use is acute cruciate ligament suturing, a minimally invasive approach that allows damaged structures to be repaired without having to be replaced. Particularly suitable for recent injuries, it provides for more natural movement and faster recovery than traditional techniques.

For cases where suturing is not applicable, ligament reconstruction is an established solution for restoring stability and function to the knee. Using grafts to replace the damaged ligament, this technique is effective in patients with chronic injuries or persistent instability.

In any case, my goal is always to choose the most suitable treatment for each patient's needs, ensuring a safe recovery and return to activity without limitations.

The intervention phases

Pre-Operative Planning

We perform a detailed assessment with 3D scans and clinical analyses to choose the most suitable technique for you.

Patient preparation

We provide you with pre-operative instructions and a detailed explanation of the procedure. This will help you prepare physically and mentally for the surgery, reducing anxiety and eliminating any doubts.

Surgical Intervention

Regardless of the surgical technique chosen, the objective during surgery is to minimise trauma to the surrounding tissues, ensure correct positioning of the prosthesis, and optimise knee function.

Post-operative monitoring

After the surgery, you will be closely monitored to ensure a successful recovery. This phase includes check-ups and physiotherapy, which are useful in speeding up healing time. This ensures a smooth and optimal recovery, allowing you to return to your daily activities as soon as possible.

  • Because I have more than 20 years of experience in the field of orthopaedics, during which I have worked with the best orthopaedic institutions in Italy and throughout Europe.
  • Because I maintain a human relationship with my patients, always putting them at ease and explaining even the most complex procedures in a simple way.
  • Because I am always up-to-date with the latest news and research in the orthopaedic field, I integrate best practices into the treatments I carry out.

Domande frequenti sulla chirurgia robotica del ginocchio

Is it painful?

Thanks to advanced techniques, post-operative pain is reduced when compared to traditional surgery. Anaesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure, and post-operative pain is managed with appropriate medication.

It depends on the technique used and the patient's condition. With modern methods, many patients return to daily activities within a few weeks, while full recovery takes several months, assisted by targeted physiotherapy.

Prostheses fitted using robotic surgery are designed to last for many years. The precision of the procedure reduces the risk of complications and extends the life of the implant, providing a stable and lasting solution for your knee

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, albeit minimal. Complications may include infection, adverse reactions to injections or non-response to treatment. However, thanks to my minimally invasive approach, these risks are reduced.
