Performed with <strong>minimally invasive techniques and the latest-generation technology<\/strong>, it resolved a severe tendon condition that had long been undermining a patient&#8217;s quality of life. The woman suffered from chronic pain, limping and functional limitation.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure was carried out at the Casa di Salute Santa Lucia in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (Naples province), which confirms its position as a <strong>reference point for highly specialized orthopedic surgery<\/strong>. The group focuses on integrating multidisciplinary expertise, advanced diagnostic pathways and innovative technologies promoted by the NefroCenter Group, which has long been committed to investing in new-generation diagnostic and therapeutic solutions in order to guarantee patients more precise, safer and personalized care.<\/p>\n<p>The patient had a <strong>detachment of the gluteus medius tendon,<\/strong> responsible for intense, persistent pain, even at night, together with a marked limp. The clinical picture was the result of a chronic rheumatic tendinopathy that had already affected the rotator cuff tendons in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, at another facility, the patient had been directed toward hip replacement surgery, based on an <strong>assessment that had not identified the true origin of the symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a thorough <strong>diagnostic workup<\/strong>, supported by high-definition magnetic resonance imaging and a targeted specialist evaluation, the <strong>team<\/strong> at the Casa di Salute Santa Lucia of the NefroCenter Group identified precisely the cause of the pain and disability, finding the detachment of the gluteus medius tendon and thus making it possible to plan the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The surgical strategy involved a minimally invasive anatomical reconstruction, with reattachment of the tendon to its own footprint at the greater trochanter. The procedure was performed using innovative small-caliber all-suture anchors, a latest-generation technology particularly well suited to a delicate anatomical area. This choice significantly reduced the risk of complications compared with traditional metal or PEEK anchors, which would have carried a higher risk of postoperative fractures.<\/p>\n<p>The operation was completed successfully and without intraoperative complications.<\/p>\n<p>The postoperative course was extremely favorable: the patient was discharged after a single night in the hospital and resumed assisted walking without pain and without the limp that had marked her clinical picture in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure was performed by <strong>Professor Raffaele Russo,<\/strong> assisted by <strong>Dr. Alfonso Fedele<\/strong> and <strong>Dr. Andrea V. Coscione.<\/strong> The operative strategy was defined in agreement with <strong>Dr. Vittorio Bellotti, of ICATME<\/strong> \u2013 Institut Catal\u00e0 de Traumatologia y Medicina de l&#8217;Esport <strong>in Barcelona<\/strong>, testifying to the value of international scientific collaboration in tackling highly complex cases.<\/p>\n<p>This result is a further <strong>example of the clinical and technological excellence<\/strong> shown by the NefroCenter Group&#8217;s Center for Highly Complex Orthopedics, an organization that invests constantly in innovation, research and the adoption of the most modern surgical technologies in order to offer patients <strong>highly specialized care pathways<\/strong> that are less and less invasive, with the aim of ensuring rapid functional recovery and a concrete improvement in quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Casa di Salute Santa Lucia of the NefroCenter Group, an innovative procedure has restored mobility to a patient with a severe gluteus medius tear Highly complex surgery at the Casa di Salute Santa Lucia of the NefroCenter Group.
