Resident in Orthopaedics and Traumatology
Department of Orthopaedic Oncology and Reconstructive Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Careggi, Firenze, Italy, Italy
I’m Dr. Davide Stimolo and I am actually a resident in my fourth out of five years of residency in Orthopeadics and Traumatology at the University Hospital Careggi, in Florence, Italy.
Careggi is the largest hospital of the Center Italy, it is well known in the Orthopaedic field for traumatology (referral center for polytraumas), Musculoskeletal Oncology and hand surgery. We perform also any kind of reconstructive surgery, in particular we perform high volume of lower limb joint arthroplasties of hip and knee with particular focus on revisions and infections.
During my years of residency I worked in the Department of Traumatology (Director Dr. Pietro De Biase), Department of General Orthopaedics (Dir. Professor Roberto Civinini) and in the Department of Oncologic Orthopaedics (Dir. Prof. Domenico Andrea Campanacci). I also worked for few months in the Fondazione G. Giglio Hospital of Cefalù, Italy in 2022, Director Dr. Filippo Boniforti.
Recently I did a clinical and research fellowship in Kantosspital Baselland Bruderholz, Basel, Switzerland working with the knee team under the mentorship of the well-known Prof. Michael T. HIrschmann.
My main interest is the total joint arthroplasty of hip and knee, above all revision arthroplasty and periprosthetic joint infections. My research work is dedicated to these topics and I am now working on new papers on hip and knee joint replacement.
