Association of Arthroscopically-Assisted Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer with Implantation of a Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Patients with Irrepar…
2022
Purpose. Massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in an active population, resulting in a pseudo-paralytic shoulder, pose a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. In an effort to avoid or delay arthroplasty surgery, other surgical strategies such as arthroscopically-assisted latissimus dorsi transfer (aLDT) or the implantation of a subacromial spacer (SAS) can be considered. The aim of the present study is to associate, for the first time, these two surgical procedures in order to demonstrate the surgical feasibility and the effectiveness of their synergistic biomechanical effect. Methods. The study group consisted of patients who underwent aLDT for a massive irreparable poste…
Is intra-articular injection of autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue effective in hip osteoarthritis? A three year follow-up
2022
Abstract Background Recently, increased attention on regenerative medicine and biological injective treatments have been proposed to restore native cartilage. Micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, paracrine, and immunomodulatory effects. The long-term effects of MFAT are still poorly understood: the aim of the present study is to demonstrate how hip articular injections with autologous MFAT can have an impact on clinical outcomes. Methods Seventy-one consecutive patients affected by early hip osteoarthritis underwent an ultrasound-guided hip injection of autologous MFAT between June 2017 and December 2018. Patients were divided into four groups a…
Is there a relationship between idiopathic scoliosis and body 2 mass? A scoping review
2022
The etiopathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis remains unknown, although genetic or hered- 12 itary factors, neurological disorders, hormonal and metabolic dysfunctions, biomechanical factors, 13 and environmental factors seem to be involved. Several studies have found that patients with scoli- 14 osis have common characteristics of taller stature, lower body mass index (BMI), and low systemic 15 bone mass. We conducted a scoping review to analyze the association between idiopathic scoliosis 16 and BMI. The search for articles was performed on PubMed and Cochrane, including the English 17 language, full-text and free-full-text articles published from December 31st, 2011 to December 31st, 18 2…
