The Reconstructive Surgery of the Locomotor System (CRAL) research group is a multidisciplinary team of clinical researchers including specialists in orthopedic surgery and traumatology, nurses and research staff.
The group's activity is based on the study of musculoskeletal problems with the aim of improving the outcome of surgical treatments, focusing our research on the fields of traumatic injuries, bone septic disease and pathologies of the knee, hip, hand and shoulder. Main objectives:
We research on the development of new surgical and medical therapies to treat patients with complex trauma and/or elderly patients, in order to improve the outcome of treatment and the quality of life of the patients.
