Meet Dr. Daniel Ramallo
Md (Doctor of Medicine) M.Sc (Master of Science)
Dr. Daniel Ramallo is an outstanding professional who has aspired to be a dedicated and humanistic physician since childhood. His educational journey is marked by remarkable achievements and a relentless pursuit of excellence. He initially graduated in Physiotherapy, followed by a degree in Medicine, where he was the class valedictorian and graduated with honors. He then specialized in Human Biomechanics at UFRJ, a rare field that enables him to deeply understand human movement, a crucial knowledge for achieving the best surgical outcomes and therapeutic planning.
He further expanded his expertise by specializing in traumatology and orthopedics through his medical residency at the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO), one of the country’s most renowned institutions in its field. There, he became a full member of the Brazilian Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology (SBOT) and was awarded the title of specialist by the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB). Later, he completed a subspecialization program in orthopedic trauma surgery and reconstruction of complex fractures, spending another year of study and dedication at INTO, earning the title of specialist from the Brazilian Society of Orthopedic Trauma (SBTO).
Dr. Ramallo began his international journey with an immersion in complex joint reconstruction techniques at the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, USA. He spent months perfecting surgeries on large joints, primarily the knee and hip. After completing his fellowship in Seattle, he was invited to teach courses in Brazil, Germany, and Portugal. Upon returning to Brazil, he completed his Master’s in Applied Sciences to the Musculoskeletal System, defending his thesis in a public hearing in 2016, at INTO.
He is currently the General Coordinator of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at São Lucas Hospital of Copacabana – REDE DASA. His private clinics are located in Rio de Janeiro, in Largo do Machado, Gávea, and Ipanema.

Main Injuries Treated
Hip and Knee Arthritis
Arthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints, characterized by the deterioration of the cartilage that lines the bone ends. It particularly affects the hip and knee, leading to pain and functional limitation. Treatments may involve physical therapy, medication, viscosupplementation, and in more severe cases, joint replacement surgery. Diagnosis is made through a clinical assessment and imaging tests, such as x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging, which can identify cartilage wear and the severity of this wear.
Fracture Treatment
Fractures occur when there is a break or crack in the bone, typically caused by traumas, falls, or accidents. Treatment ranges from immobilization to surgery, depending on the severity of the fracture. For diagnosis, x-rays are commonly used to visualize the fracture and determine its extent and location.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger is a condition in which one of the fingers gets stuck in a bent position and, when stretched, it snaps back, like a trigger being pulled and released. Treatment can vary from physical therapy to surgery, if the condition is severe or persistent. Diagnosis is primarily made through a physical exam, where the doctor assesses the symptoms and the movement of the finger.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve, running from the forearm to the hand, is compressed in the carpal tunnel, a narrow channel at the base of the hand. This can cause pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. Treatment varies from physical therapy to surgery, depending on the severity. The diagnosis can be confirmed through physical examinations, nerve conduction tests, and electromyography studies.
Epicondylitis
Also known as tennis elbow, epicondylitis is a painful condition that occurs when the tendons in the elbow are overloaded, typically due to repetitive movements of the wrist and arm. The treatment can involve physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in more severe cases, surgery. Diagnosis is made through a physical exam and can be confirmed with imaging tests, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging.
Main Procedures Performed
Hip Prosthesis
Hip prosthesis is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or worn hip joint with an artificial prosthesis. This procedure is commonly used to treat osteoarthritis or hip fractures. The surgery is performed by an orthopedic surgeon and involves removing the diseased joint and replacing it with a prosthesis. Recovery after surgery involves physiotherapy to improve strength and mobility.
Viscosupplementation and Biological Therapies
Viscosupplementation is a procedure where a viscous fluid, usually hyaluronic acid, is injected into the joint to help lubricate and cushion, reducing pain and improving joint function. It is commonly used to treat osteoarthritis.
Arthroplasties
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves repairing or replacing a damaged joint, commonly the hip or knee. It is mainly used to treat osteoarthritis or other conditions that cause pain and loss of joint function. The surgery involves removing damaged parts of the joint and replacing them with a prosthesis. Postoperative recovery includes physiotherapy to strengthen the area and improve mobility.
Soft Tissue Surgery (Tendons, Muscles, Ligaments among Others) in Athletes
Soft tissue surgeries in athletes involve repairing tendons, muscles, ligaments, and other structures that can be damaged by sports injuries or wear and tear from the high intensity of the athlete's activities. This can involve repairing torn ligaments, reconstructing tendons, among others. Postoperative usually involves rest, pain medication, and physiotherapy for rehabilitation.
Joint Reconstruction
Joint reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the function of a damaged joint. This can involve a total or partial replacement of the joint with a prosthesis, or the repair of damaged structures. It is used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, traumatic injuries, among others. Recovery involves a period of rest and physiotherapy to regain strength and mobility.
Orthopedic Trauma Surgery
Orthopedic trauma surgery is a specialty that deals with the management of fractures and injuries to the bones, joints, ligaments, and related structures. This can involve fixing fractures with plates and screws, reconstructing damaged joints, among others. Recovery can vary depending on the severity of the injury, but usually includes rest and physiotherapy for rehabilitation.

Career Milestones
Take a look at some of Dr. Daniel Ramallo's important career moments
Improvement trip to Germany - 2018
14-day immersion in lower limb reconstruction surgeries. Anterior prosthesis, minimally invasive techniques, accessory accesses. University of Giessen also known as Justus Liebig. We traveled with orthopedists from all over the world and it was great to exchange experiences.
Opening of the OrthoConstellation knee prosthesis training course - 2021
In October 2021, we took the advanced knee arthroplasty course in Rio de Janeiro. It was a very technical course, of the highest level with a fresh cadaver and a real simulation of surgery. We show the navigated prosthesis and highly complex surgeries with the use of wedges and bone defects.
Fresh cadaver laboratory study Mexico City (left) and Chicago (right) - 2016
The laboratories allow the development of new techniques and the improvement of surgeries on cadavers. With a specific preparation, the skin and tissues remain the same as a living human being. That way we have the ideal environment for testing and developing skills with colleagues from all over the world. These are tiring journeys, but very fruitful.
Lecture at the Brazilian Congress of the Brazilian Society of Arthroscopy and Sports Traumatology (SBRATE) - 2021
I talked about tibial fractures and the main reconstruction techniques and accelerated rehabilitation. Theme is very popular due to recent injuries in MMA. It's great to meet friends again, a very high level event with great speakers from Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.
Participating as a debater in a modern round table - Brazilian Congress of Orthopedics and Traumatology (CBOT) Goiânia - 2017
It was an extremely challenging table. We exchanged experiences and discussed the forms of treatment and reconstruction for hip and acetabular fractures. An area where the injury can be very serious, requiring great expertise from the surgeon for a satisfactory result. The debaters were great, experienced and the discussion was very interesting. For orthopedists, the Brazilian congress is a special moment where we learn and teach. We found old friends. We exchange experience.
Health talk – Talking about corporate health - 2021
Great event in Rio de Janeiro with great entrepreneurs and health managers in Brazil. I talked about the flows, the skipe Valuation model and management techniques based on spirit and leadership as a basis for demanding results. The performance of a team is based on collective motivation under an agile and inspiring sense of leadership. It's not easy. We teach.
