Santa Rita in Atripalda – NefroCenter, robotic-assisted orthopedic joint replacement surgery
ATRIPALDA – Investing in expertise and the most advanced technologies means offering patients ever more effective, personalized and less invasive care. This is the philosophy that guides the NefroCenter Group, which through the Casa di Cura Santa Rita in Atripalda confirms itself as a reference point in highly specialized orthopedics, thanks to the use of the most modern robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery technologies.
The latest procedure performed is a concrete example of this excellence. The patient was a 64-year-old man, particularly active and used to jogging regularly until a few months before the onset of severe osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee, a degenerative condition that had progressively undermined his quality of life and his ability to exercise.
The orthopedic team, led by Dr. Ugo Camilleri (pictured), chose to perform a medial unicompartmental knee replacement, a highly conservative solution that replaces only the damaged joint compartment, preserving the remaining two healthy compartments and the cruciate ligaments. A choice that makes it possible to maintain joint kinematics much closer to the natural ones and to support faster functional recovery.
The distinguishing element of the procedure was the use of the CORI robotic system, a latest-generation platform that allows the surgeon to plan and carry out every stage of the operation with millimeter precision. Thanks to robotic-assisted navigation it was possible to perform extremely accurate bone cuts and obtain perfect alignment and positioning of the prosthetic components, improving joint balance and helping to increase the lifespan of the implant over time.
The Casa di Cura Santa Rita in Atripalda, a facility of the NefroCenter Group, has been using this technology routinely for over a year, consolidating a path of growth that focuses on innovation as a tool for raising the quality standards of healthcare.
The benefits for the patient are significant: reduced pain, restoration of the knee’s physiological function, faster return to normal daily and sporting activities and greater longevity of the prosthetic implant, thanks to the precision guaranteed by robotic surgery.
The NefroCenter Group’s investment in new technologies for its highly complex orthopedic center confirms a strategy geared toward the medicine of the future, where innovation, clinical experience and personalized care come together to offer patients increasingly effective and safe treatment pathways.
With the spread of robotic-assisted surgery, the Casa di Cura Santa Rita strengthens its role as a center of excellence in southern Italy in advanced joint replacement surgery, showing how technology, when guided by the high expertise of specialists, can translate into a concrete improvement in people’s quality of life
