At the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi, where he has been working since 2008 as an attending physician, he hones his experience in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint infections, as well as degenerative diseases of the hip and knee joints.

In 2013, he was an Italian delegate to the Philadelphia Consensus on Periprosthetic Infections.

His areas of interest, which he works on daily in the field of orthopedics and injuries:

• surgery of bone and joint infections (infected prostheses, osteomyelitis and infectious osteoarthritis);
• hip and knee joint prosthetics during primary implantation and revision (failure of the articular prosthesis or its mobility, painful sensations);
• arthroscopic knee surgery.

In 2018, as the first surgeon, he performed the first operation in Europe to revise a hypoallergenic knee prosthesis with a cementless implant made using 3D printing.

Currently, he is responsible for the ongoing research project "Clinical Management and Surgical Treatment of Patients with Osteoarticular and Periprosthetic Infection", in which patients who are registered in the department can use the most innovative available surgical methods and orthopedic technologies (for example, the use of antibiotic-coated bone substitutes and implants with antibacterial coating).
