In 1999, Dr. Alberto Siccardi, our founder, chairman, and former CEO, established Medacta after his own patient experience convinced him of the importance of pioneering an innovation-centered approach to joint replacement.
Introduced in 2004, AMIS (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery) debuted as Medacta’s first minimally invasive hip technique. In the same year, we established the M.O.R.E. (Medacta Orthopaedic Research and Education) Institute to educate and engage with our surgeons.
In 2019, we became a publicly listed company, officially entering the SIX Swiss Exchange. Adding to this significant milestone, a generational shift occurred as Francesco Siccardi assumed the role of CEO within the company.
