expertise with a few clicks." said Francesco Siccardi, CEO of Medacta.
"During challenging times, like the one we are facing right now, it is
essential to be able to react quickly. With the new Medacta TV platform we
want to give our contribution to the scientific community and assist expert
surgeons in continuing their work, while discussing and developing ideas in
order to move the orthopaedic industry forward."
