Conditions & Treatments
Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most serious and common sports knee ligament injuries, which is treated surgically with excellent results thanks to new arthroscopic approaches, which ensure the best possible ligament restoration.
Meniscus tear is a common sports injury, which thanks to the progress of medical technology is now treated arthroscopically, not through a total or partial removal but by suturing and saving the meniscus – where possible – protecting patients from future complications such as osteoarthritis.
