Other Services Offered by Our Orthopedist in Renens
The doctor prioritizes conservative treatment, which may include immobilization, referral to physiotherapy, or on-site injections at the center to help reduce inflammation and pain, depending on the case.
When this approach is not sufficient, surgical treatment may be recommended, using techniques tailored to each individual case:
Common Procedures
- Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff, instability, prosthesis)
- Knee surgery (meniscus, ligaments, partial or total knee replacement)
- Hip surgery (hip replacement)
- Ankle and foot surgery
- Minimally invasive surgery (arthroscopy) whenever possible
Other Treatments
- Injections (hyaluronic acid, PRP, cortisone)
- Regenerative cartilage treatments
- Second specialist opinion
- In-depth imaging review (MRI, CT scan, X-rays)
This step-by-step approach makes it possible to offer the most appropriate solution at the right time, with personalized care.
Regenerative Medicine and Injections
CMGR highlights a regenerative medicine approach when appropriate. This type of care aims to support tissue healing and reduce pain while preserving function.
Dr. Filippo-Franco Schiapparelli provides targeted injections and tailored clinical follow-up to help limit recurrence and support a gradual return to activity.
- Intra-articular, peritendinous, or intramuscular injections
- Hyaluronic acid
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
- Corticosteroids
- Treatment of cartilage lesions (regenerative approach)
- Conservative treatment of muscle injuries
- Management of acute and chronic tendinopathies
Please note: Surgical procedures are not performed at CMGR. The consultation focuses on evaluation, follow-up, and, if necessary, referral to an appropriate technical facility.
If surgery is recommended, our specialist will guide you through the process so you can feel reassured and confident. Your safety and the quality of our expertise are our top priorities.
