Of the 508 total surgeries carried out in 2022 in the Orthopedics department of the Lanusei hospital, 113 were on the femur and 27 on day service. In 2017 there were 103 operations on the femur out of a total of 375 and the previous year 104 out of a total of 420.

In fact, in 2022 the surgical activity of the department led by Luigi Soddu increased by 21 percent although 3 fewer doctors are on duty compared to that period. Currently the department is operational from 8 to 20, because the staff numbers do not allow a 24-hour service (with the exception of guaranteed non-stop hospitalization).

In addition to the doctors, 12 nurses and 7 obss work . With the reorganization of the department, which began in April 2022, the number of beds went from 11 to 14 and the doctors on duty (the staff led by Soddu is completed by Salvatore Lai, Maurizio Ennas, Gian Luigi De Pascali and Davide D'Aquila ) also guarantee wrist and hand surgery, an excellence in Sardinia.
