Knee Surgery

The knee prosthesis is, today, a consolidated reality with extremely positive results. Gruppo San Donato, with a clinical activity of Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio, was among the forerunners in Italy in the introduction of this surgical technique by organizing scientific meetings and collaborations with American and European colleagues.

Currently, it is among the first places in Italy for the number of knee prosthesis surgeries for the execution of unicompartmental knee prostheses (involving only the part of the knee affected by the disease) and total prostheses. GSD facilities admit patients affected by complex internal disorders thanks to the presence of an ICU where they are monitored after the surgery until the general conditions are resolved.

In results evaluation, it is essential to follow up the patients over time: to achieve this, in addition to periodic post-operative controls with treating physicians, we perform a series of periodic phone follow-ups with patients to find out about their recovery progress (PROMs - Patient reported outcome measures).
