Foreword I
I am particularly happy to be a part of this major project as Chairman of the Italian Society of Arthroscopy (SIA), as an orthopedic surgeon, and as a personal friend of Professor Piero Volpi. As Chairman of the SIA, I am especially honored since this is the first time that our members have been called upon to contribute to a project of such high scientific value, a task that they all approached with great dedication and enthusiasm. As an orthopedic surgeon I am grateful because this undertaking has allowed me to add another important experience to my professional career, which has been enriched through the opportunity of working together with leading Italian and European colleagues. Finally, I am happy to participate in this project as a friend of Piero Volpi, with whom I share not only a deep commitment to work, mutual respect and friendship but also a strong passion for football, which, like our work, is a source of energy and motivation.
