Dott. Cirimbilli Alessandro

Clinical expertise and treatments

• Specialist orthopaedic examination and diagnostics

  Assessment of acute, chronic or degenerative musculoskeletal conditions: primary and secondary osteoarthritis, meniscal and ligament injuries of the knee, shoulder impingement and tendinopathies, and functional overload syndromes in athletes.

• PRP injections (platelet-rich plasma)

  Biological treatment based on the growth factors in the patient’s own platelets: a venous blood sample is centrifuged and the resulting plasma is injected to modulate chronic inflammation and support the repair of cartilage, tendons and muscles.

• E.P.I.® – Ultrasound-guided percutaneous intratissue electrolysis

  Minimally invasive technique performed under real-time ultrasound guidance: a galvanic current delivered through an ultra-fine needle acts on the degenerated tendon tissue, removing altered fibrotic tissue and stimulating the production of new collagen fibres.

• Focused shock wave therapy (FSW)

  Acoustic energy focused deep on the lesion without harming superficial tissues, used to reduce inflammation, promote the formation of new blood vessels, break down tendon calcifications (for example in the shoulder) and treat plantar fasciitis with heel spur.

• Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid

  Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights to counter cartilage wear in knee osteoarthritis and hip osteoarthritis, improving joint lubrication and reducing pain.

• Targeted anti-inflammatory injections

  Local therapeutic use of corticosteroids in the acute phases of inflammatory joint and periarticular conditions (bursitis, acute tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis).

• Sports orthopaedics and traumatology

  Assessment and clinical management of muscle, tendon and joint injuries related to physical activity, with conservative recovery programmes coordinated with the in-house physiotherapists for the return to sport.
