Background
Gino Rocca directs the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology at the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, an 11-room, 34-bed unit treating patients from birth to age 18. A February 2024 regional press report (Il Resto del Carlino) independently confirms him in this role, quoting him as "direttore del reparto di Ortopedia e Traumatologia pediatrica del Rizzoli." His clinical and surgical career spans roughly 25 years, beginning at the Division of Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology in Alessandria and continuing at the equivalent department in Novara, with particular focus on traumatology, congenital and acquired malformations, and rare musculoskeletal diseases. He maintains an active role evaluating innovative surgical techniques and pediatric clinical trials at Rizzoli.
