Surgery: Degenerative and Rheumatic Joint Pathology — Orthopedics and Traumatology
Surgery · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
Abordaje científico exhaustivo de la osteoartritis y las artropatías inflamatorias. Análisis profundo de la ultraestructura del cartílago, los procesos celulares del pannus sinovial, los diseños biomecánicos de los implantes y los protocolos de reconstrucción articular basados en la evidencia clínica.
