I currently coordinate the Orthopedic Surgery Unit at Ibermutua Asturiana. I specialize in arthroscopic knee, shoulder, and wrist surgery, with a special interest in the treatment of sports pathology and joint preservation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sports Medicine is a branch of Orthopedics that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to bones, joints, and muscles in athletes and active individuals. It combines orthopedic expertise with specialized care to enhance performance and ensure optimal recovery.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It consists of making small incisions through which a camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are introduced into the joint to view and repair the injuries, minimizing damage and reducing recovery time.

I specialize in Sports Medicine, with special interest in knee instability, meniscus injuries, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder instability, radioulnar injuries, scapholunate instability and joint preservation surgery in active patients in both occupational and sports, either recreational or professional.
