The Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute carries out highly complex diagnosis and treatment. It is greatly committed to scientific research, being a Scientific Research Hospital - the first one in the orthopedic field. Therefore, also the support of private citizens and companies is of fundamental importance for our institute.

• through donations of money to purchase equipment, goods and services for Departments, Wards, and Services belonging to the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute;
• through the donation of mechanical and electronic instruments, equipment to aid the medical staff for ward and research practice;
• through donations of books, toys, stationary, personal computers and other things for the children and teenager wards (Ward of pediatric orthopedic-trauma Surgery and Chemotherapy of musculoskeletal tumours department).
