Meet Dr. Daniel Ramallo
Dr. Daniel Ramallo wanted from childhood to become a dedicated, humane physician. He graduated in Physical Therapy and then in Medicine, as class speaker and with honors. He specialized in Human Biomechanics at UFRJ, knowledge that is fundamental to understand how movement works and to plan treatment and surgery.
He completed his medical residency at the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO), became a full member of SBOT and received the AMB specialist title. He then completed sub-specialty training in orthopedic trauma surgery and complex fracture reconstruction at INTO, with the SBTO specialist title.
He began his international journey with an immersion in complex joint reconstruction at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle (USA), focused on hip and knee. After the fellowship he was invited to teach courses in Brazil, Germany and Portugal and, back in Brazil, completed his master's at INTO, defending his thesis in 2016.
He is currently General Coordinator of the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department at Hospital São Lucas de Copacabana. His private offices are in Rio de Janeiro, in Ipanema and Largo do Machado.
