SOCIEDADES AMIGAS

My professional activity is focus at 100% on diagnosis and patient’s treatment with a benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumours, as well as pseudotumors of bone and metastatic bone cancer.

I was the recipient of the prestigious Howard Hatcher Pathology Fellowship which allowed me to join the clinical and research fellowship on Orthopaedic Oncology Surgery and Bone Banking at Massachussets General Hospital of Boston (USA) under supervision of Dr. Henry J. Mankin, Mark Gebhardt, Dempsey Springfield and Dr. William Tomford.

Since my orthopaedic residence, I was excited with the management of bone tumour. In order to improve my knowledge regard this field I applied the scholarship from Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute (Bologna - Italy) that I successfully achieved and I had the opportunity to be there for 3 months, and I had the chance to meet Dr. Mario Campanacci and his team. After that, I was a visiting research fellow at Shand´s Teaching Hospital at Gainesville (Florida) with Mark Scarborough.

I was trained and I am working on complex limb and pelvic salvage surgeries and major amputations, included oncology resections and reconstructions. As well, I was eager about the development and organization of USA bone banks, for that reason I started my doctored in this special area of transplantation and I hold the doctorate from Universidad Complutense of Madrid in 2001, with a Cum Laude thesis related with a Bone and Soft Tissue Banks for a Hospital in a 2000 century.

I was a founder and Medical Director of the Bone and Soft tissue Bank of the Fundación Hospital Alcorcon (Madrid) that is one the most important bone banks in Spain. In August 2004, I passed with merits the exam for a Specialist in Bone Banking from the American Association of Tissue Banks and I got the Certified Tissue Bank Specialist (CTBS).

Currently, I am working with multidisciplinary teams in a public and private practice. The public practice is the Hospital Universitario La Paz de Madrid and the private are in the subsequently centres: Mdanderson Cancer Center, Clínica Ruber and Hospital Ruber Internacional in Madrid, Spain. I am the chief of all these Bone Tumour Units
