Surgery: Degenerative and Rheumatic Joint Pathology — Orthopedics and Traumatology

Surgery · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Comprehensive scientific approach to osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthropathies. In-depth analysis of cartilage ultrastructure, cellular processes of the synovial pannus, biomechanical designs of implants and joint reconstruction protocols based on clinical evidence.
