WHY
O.A.S.I. ?
Every year in Italy,
there are approximately one million people who sustain bone and joint
injuries at work, in sports, or in ordinary daily activities, which
need immediate diagnosis and surgical treatment, as well as proper
rehabilitation.
OASI is for everyone
who requires qualified professional staff and proven treatment methods
coupled with a holistic approach to patient care and the particular
case.
THE FOUNDER OF
O.A.S.I.: Dr. Alberto Gobbi
Born in Milan on the
14th of October 1956, he obtained his doctoral degree in medicine and
surgery from the State University of Milan in 1983 and presented his
thesis on traumatic injuries in motorcycle sports.
He completed his
specialty training in Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University
of Milan and presented a thesis on the treatment of leg fractures in
athletes. This was followed by several publications in international
journals. He also completed his training in sports medicine at the
University of Genova where he presented a thesis on physiologic
characteristics of motorcycle riders.
In the course of
following the sport of motocross nationwide, he developed an interest
in sports medicine and traumatology. Many athletes engaged in the
high-risk sport of motocross found Dr. Gobbi a point of reference
through the years.
He served as physician
for the Italian Motorcycle Federation for the sport of motocross. In
1986, he met Dr. James Fox in Los Angeles from whom he learned the
technique of arthroscopic surgery. He later became a member of several
prestigious American societies such as the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons, the Arthroscopy Association of North America,
the International Society of Arthroscopy and Knee Surgery, and the
International Cartilage Research Society. He is also a member of the
EURO Surgery Knee Arthroscopy Society and the Italian Arthroscopy
Association.
