Anatomical Dissection Laboratory
The Anatomical Dissection Laboratory is dedicated to the in-depth study of surgical anatomy through cadaveric dissection.
The laboratory provides an advanced environment for the assessment of anatomical structures relevant to clinical and surgical practice, with particular emphasis on musculoskeletal anatomy.
Activities include:
- Detailed anatomical dissections aimed at improving the understanding of complex anatomical relationships
- Evaluation of surgical anatomy to support clinical decision-making
- Simulation of surgical procedures for training, research, and validation of innovative surgical techniques
The laboratory represents a key resource for translational research, bridging basic anatomical knowledge with clinical and surgical applications.

Functional Evaluation of Joint Biomechanics Before and After Surgery
This laboratory focuses on the quantitative and qualitative assessment of joint biomechanics in both preoperative and postoperative settings.
Advanced technologies are employed to quantify joint function, movement patterns, and clinical outcomes.
Main areas of activity include:
- Quantitative functional evaluation of joint kinematics using non-invasive surface sensor systems
- Intraoperative assessment of joint biomechanics through robotic and computer-assisted surgical technologies
- Clinical and radiographic evaluation of functional outcomes during short- and medium-term postoperative follow-up
- The laboratory supports evidence-based surgery by integrating biomechanical data with clinical outcomes to optimize surgical strategies and patient care.

Regenerative Medicine
The Regenerative Medicine Laboratory is dedicated to the development and clinical application of regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular focus on shoulder and knee osteoarthritis.
Current research activities include:
- Application of regenerative medicine techniques in patients with moderate shoulder and knee osteoarthritis
- Use of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from adipose tissue
- Implementation of minimally invasive procedures, including the Lipogems technique
- The laboratory aims to improve patient outcomes by promoting tissue regeneration and delaying or reducing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
