Knee Orthopedic Surgeon Lugano
I have always been interested in knee surgery, covering both sides as the traumatic part of menisci, ligaments and cartilages typical of the young patient and the degenerative part typical of the elderly patient.
I offer patients a range of treatments varying from arthroscopic surgery to joint replacement surgery passing through all non-invasive treatments as first line, including PRP, monocytes and mesenchymal injections.
The knee in Athletes
The knee is a masterpiece of biological engineering and one of the most complex and essential joints in the human body.
​
For athletes, it is the joint that enables explosiveness, changes of direction, jumps, and landings, making it critical in almost every sport—from soccer to hockey, from skiing to basketball.
​
Its integrity often determines the athlete's career itself, so much so that a knee injury can represent a turning point in their competitive life.
Knee Health and Quality of Life
At the same time, the knee is essential for maintaining autonomy and quality of life in elderly individuals. The joint endures up to three to four times body weight during simple walking, and even more when climbing stairs.
​
A well-functioning knee means maintaining an active and independent life: walking, grocery shopping, playing with grandchildren, climbing the stairs at home.
​
Loss of knee function can lead to social isolation, loss of independence, and a significant decline in quality of life.
My approach
We get to the specialist because our life has limitations that we are unable to resolve with our own means. We are in pain, we are limited and often we don't even know why.
My job is to help you find the cause, explain it to you, show you possible solutions and show you a path to improve your situation and get back to doing what you want.
When you hear the word surgeon we are keen to think about operating room with fear. Don't worry, it's not like that. Surgery is one of the weapons in the hands of the specialist which can only be proposed when all the others do not give the desired results.
It's never the first.
This is my approach.
When to book a visit?
Simple, ask yourself this question.
Do you have shoulder, hip or knee pain? Have you tried other treatments but still don't get the desired results?
Let's talk about it in person, my ears and my skills are at your disposal.
And since I understand how important your problem is,
I normally welcome you in less than 48 hours.
