"Joints damaged by prostheses represent complications that can result in extremely painful conditions and often necessitate surgical re-intervention to resolve these issues. This is my passion and the primary focus of my clinical research and recent professional activities. Specializing in resolving complications associated with unsuccessful joint replacements is my area of expertise."
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.

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.

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.
