Main lines of research

Antiresorptives in Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery

  • Effect of zoledronic acid on periprosthetic bone mineral density in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Knee

Haemostasis

  • Blood loss control using tranexamic acid in primary prosthetic and knee revision surgery.
  • Retrospective study of revision knee arthroplasty to compare the effects of intravenous tranexamic acid and normal haemostasis.
  • Clinical trial comparing outcomes for intravenous tranexamic acid with fibrin glue and normal haemostasis in primary knee prosthetic surgery.
  • Observational study of blood loss in redon drainage over time in pertrochanteric hip fractures.

Cartilage

  • Regeneration of cartilage defects using tissue engineering and a matrix seeded with characterized allogeneic chondrocytes.

Meniscus

  • Effect of normal and growth-factor-enriched cell cultures on the meniscal collagen network and glycosaminoglycan expression.
  • In vitro experimental study of the feasibility of a polyurethane replacement meniscus pre-seeded with stem cells.
  • Evolution of allogeneic meniscal transplants and relationship with extrusion.

Hip

  • Coxarthrosis in young adults: etiological study of biomechanical factors.
  • Biomechanics of coxarthrosis in young adults: finite element study.
  • Influence of hip anatomy in early development of coxarthrosis: controlled, prospective radiographic study.

Upper Limb

  • Anatomical study of stabilizing ligaments in the trapeziometacarpal joint: the role played by dorsoradial and anterior oblique ligaments in Bennett and Rolando fractures.
  • Surgical treatment of middle-third clavicle fractures in high-energy trauma in young patients.
  • Retrospective study of the use of vascularized bone graft using the 1,2-ICSR artery in the revascularization of proximal pole necrosis in scaphoid pseudarthrosis.
