Our research group was composed of 6 different units, each of which follows a line of research: traumatic, bone septic disease, knee, hip, hand, shoulder. In 2022, a new unit is welcomed with one novel study: foot and ankle pathology. Several trials have been initiated, highlighting the collaboration with other distinguished groups such as the Stroke Unit from VHIR developing the NORA-LCA project. This and others are a clear example of our commitment to high-level clinical research and our support in the collaboration with national and international research groups of our field of expertise. We have followed our previous strategies implemented, combining active participation as collaborators in new relevant national and international trials, in addition to promoting our own research through investigators working on their doctoral thesis. Researchers are encouraged to disseminate the obtained results from the studies in national and international congresses and in scientific journals.
