When you see a dancer dancing, an acrobat leaping, an athlete running or simply a person walking, you seldom stop to think that behind those movements may be the hand of an orthopaedic surgeon or a rehabilitation specialist responsible for restoring the health of a person after an injury or accident.
That is precisely the work performed by specialists at the Frank Pais Orthopaedic Science Complex, headed by its general director, Professor Dr. Rodrigo Álvarez Cambras, who has been at the helm of the institution for more than four decades.
"I started as director of this hospital on January 6, 1969, and since then the centre has gradually developed to become a scientific complex that, besides caring for patients in orthopaedics and rehabilitation, also trains professionals in those specialties", said Álvarez Cambras.
