The best current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
Follow-up in a multidisciplinary consultation
Performance of necessary exams
Joints damaged by a prosthesis can lead to severe complications, causing significant pain and often requiring surgical reintervention to resolve the issue.
This is my passion and area of clinical research, as well as the main focus of my work in recent years. Addressing complications associated with unsuccessful prosthetic procedures is my greatest expertise.

What Patients Say
My daughter is a doctor and she referred me to Doctor Ricardo Sousa. He performed my surgery and, fortunately, everything went exceedingly well – it couldn't have been better! I had been suffering for years... He truly is an outstanding surgeon.
Fernando Fernandes
Hip Prosthetic Joint Infection
I suffered a severe accident and underwent surgery at another clinic, which was unsuccessful. Then I found Dr. Ricardo, and he was my saving grace! I am now more joyful, able to walk again. The treatment was exceptional, and I have immense trust in Dr. Ricardo.
Hermínia Lopes
Leg Fracture Related Infection
I suffered a knee injury that severely debilitated me. I was operated on by Dr. Ricardo and am recovering quite well; I've regained mobility and am satisfied. The fact that he is attentive and helpful instilled great confidence in me, offering a service truly unparalleled by any other professional I've encountered before.
