Patients’ expectations to see their osteoarticular problems solved and to improve their quality of life have made orthopedics one of the specialist branches with a higher growth rate.

Thanks to this thrust too, the orthopedic specialization has been strongly innovated in recent years: we are witnessing a clear process of improvement of the techniques, as well as the introduction of new materials and biological innovations that have allowed us to achieve better results, thereby increasing the Rate of Confidence and patients’ satisfaction. We are referring in particular to prosthetic surgery.

In this field, the use of the latest generation prostheses, both as models and materials, is essential to guarantee a patient an ideal and long-lasting implant.

The length of a prosthetic implant, which replaces the articulation of a hip or knee, is crucial to the patient and influences his quality of life.
Today, in the absence of specific degenerative conditions linked to the onset of other pathologies, a prosthesis is likely to last more than 15/20 years if implanted by a specialized team following the most advanced procedures.
The choice of “Ospedali Privati Riuniti” – United Private Hospitals – (Villa Regina and Nigrisoli) to use exclusively and all the time the most advanced prostheses and avail themselves of the most experienced surgeons has proved fundamental to ensure successful patients’ operations. This is evident if you look at the case studies that account for more than 600 annual hip and knee arthroplasty interventions, about 200 shoulder operations and 650 interventions on the knee predominantly carried out in arthroscopy, as well as many other joint interventions.

In addition to the intervention phase at “Villa Regina” and “Nigrisoli” hospitals, we take care of the postoperative period too: the surgical team in fact does a continuous and scrupulous monitoring to verify the correct recovery of a patient starting from the delicate postoperative first days and the first few steps they make post.

When requested by patients, the opportunity to supplement the skills of the orthopedic surgeon with those of the rehabilitation service is a further advantage accompanying the recovery of motor functions.
