• Current Research Line
  Hip Surgery
  Focused on the investigation of hip disorders and their corresponding treatments, with a particular interest in patient-specific and minimally invasive surgical approach. It involves the publication of research findings related to preoperative planning and patient preparation, postoperative rehabilitation protocols, as well as studies examining spinopelvic relationships, complications that occur after surgery and the subsequent revision procedures. Additionally, the research encompasses publications examining the long-term outcomes of THA, often conducted in collaboration with the Prosthetic Orthopedic Implant Registry (RIPO) of the Emilia-Romagna Region.

Collagen VI - related Diseases
Engagement as an external contributor within the research working group on Collagen VI-related diseases, led to the publication of an exhaustive review intended to elucidate the pivotal role played by Collagen VI in the musculoskeletal system. Moreover, this review provides an updated account of tissue-specific functions discovered through recent investigations on animal models and patient specimens. This aims to bridge the knowledge gap between researchers and clinicians who manage patients with Collagen VI-related myopathies, including Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD), Bethlem Myopathy (BM), and Myosclerosis Myopathy (MM).

• Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty with a particular focus on congenital hip dysplasia, post-traumatic outcomes, osteonecrosis, infections, leg length discrepancies. Revision Hip surgeries.
• Traumatology of the lower limb and complications, with a specific interest in delayed union, nonunion (pseudoarthrosis), and malunion.
