• LCM/LCL/LAL extra-articular ligament reconstructions with autograft or synthetic graft
• Treatment of patellar instabilities - MPFL reconstruction, arthroscopic patellar stabilization, tibial tuberosity antero-medialization, patellar chondroplasty, trochlear
• Lower limb reaxing osteotomies - closing/opening tibia or femur osteotomies through minimally invasive technique and modern implants
• Shoulder arthroscopy - treatment of shoulder instabilities using the Bankart procedure, treatment of SLAP lesions, brachial biceps tenotomies/tenodesis, subacromial decompression/acromioplasty, rotator cuff tendon suture, evacuation of calcium deposits from tendons, surgical treatment of acromio-clavicular disjunction using the AC Tight arthroscopic procedure Rope or coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with autograft or synthetic graft
• Cure of recurrent instability of the shoulder through the Latarjet procedure
• Total and partial minimally invasive knee, hip and shoulder replacement with minimal morbidity and quick recovery
