Hello, I am Dr. Bruno Capurro Soler, an orthopedic specialist focused on arthroscopy and sports traumatology. My work centers on hip arthroscopy and knee arthroscopy, treating labral tear and groin pain with precise surgical techniques developed through extensive clinical experience.

MY HOME : I currently work at Ribera IMSKE Hospital - European Musculoskeletal Institute, Valencia, Spain. I`m the Head of the Hip Unit and Knee Consultant Surgeon.

My HEART: I am close and trustworthy, for me this is the only way for our doctor-patient relationship to become a doctor-friend.

For this I always seek to maintain an empathetic, close, proactive attitude and in search of the happiness of my patients. I am far from being a passive observer of your problems, I know that you come to me because you need help and I am a seeker of solutions to problems! I count on your energy to help you get better!

My Passion & Personal Goals As An Orthopedic Specialist

  • Be an agent of positive change in the scientific community, as well as lead and be part of high-performance teams motivated by the development and well-being of the patient.

  • Work in health services with a strong orientation towards achievement and compliance in favor of medical quality.

  • Maintain continuous learning and teaching to successfully perform requirements, as well as overcome the challenges of practicing as a surgeon.

My Approach to Hip Arthroscopy Research and Surgical Education

I am a constant researcher, and faithfully believe that it is the best way to help our patients, evaluate our own results and thus achieve positive change in our society. I apply my thinking to solve problems that seem insurmountable or unthinkable, applying scientific methodology in a creative and strategic way.

I currently have several projects underway, among them my work with the Board Member of the Spanish Arthroscopy Association, and my passion for teaching surgeons from different countries. ​You can see all of them in the CV section and download the scientific articles below.

I invite you to meet me and solve your problems together!
