Dr. Maurizio Crisafulli is a pediatrician who can be seen by appointment in Oristano at the Medici del Benessere Multi-specialty Center.

Dr. Maurizio Crisafulli focuses on children’s psychological and physical well-being, offering support to parents and providing them with the tools they need to face the challenges of parenthood.

He supervises all stages of breastfeeding, growth, neurodevelopment, nutrition, immunizations, and screening for the prevention of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DEA). This is the most common congenital disorder of the musculoskeletal system in newborns. This disease includes everything from a simple flattening of the acetabular cavity to the complete dislocation of the femoral head.

All newborns take part in a screening program that includes an ultrasound of the hips between 4 and 6 weeks of age if no risk factors are present. However, if factors are present, an ultrasound is recommended within the first month of the child's life.
