Our Foundation in Milan is an Internationally recognized private research and clinical center specializing in orthobiologics, regenerative medicine, and joint preservation. The center has extensive experience in the application of advanced biotechnologies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and MSCs for the treatment of sports-related ligament, tendon, and cartilage injuries, as well as degenerative joint pathology. In addition, the center provides strong exposure to arthroscopic and open procedures of the knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle, with particular emphasis on cartilage restoration techniques and sports medicine surgery. Through its integrated clinical, surgical, and research programs, the Foundation offers fellows a unique environment to develop expertise in both cutting-edge regenerative therapies and conventional orthopaedic sports procedures.
