Abstract Introduction We aimed to assess the incidence and hospitalization rate of hip "minor" fragility fractures in Italian population. Methods carried out a 3-year survey at 10 major emergency departments evaluate hip, forearm, humeral, ankle, vertebral people 45 years or older between 2004 2006, both men women. These data were compared with those recorded national hospitalizations database (SDO) overall occurring other sites, including also events not resulting hospital admissions....
Intra-articular and peri-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are widely used to treat several musculoskeletal pathologies.Although clinical I.S.Mu.
Introduction Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most problematic complications after shoulder arthroplasty. Many diagnostic tools have been identified to find infection, such as hystopatologic examination of tissue sections or cultures intraoperative tissue. Implant sonication fluid culture showed good results in order enhance accuracy, but literature are still controversial. Aim our study compare with sample cultures. Patients and Methods From February 2016 January 2018 we...
The recovery of scapular and humeral physiological kinematic parameters, as well the sensorimotor control movement, plays a primary role in rehabilitation process after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. A highly customized approach is required to achieve this aim. Biofeedback can be useful tool, but there poor evidence its application tear repair.The aim paper outline an innovative exercise-based program exploiting visual biofeedback for patients arthroscopically treated repair.For...
A randomized control trial (clinicaltrial.gov identification NCT04521504) was conducted to test if the combination of a rehabilitative protocol with kinematic visual biofeedback tool could improve functional level patients arthroscopically treated for rotator cuff tear, both in short- and medium-term assessments. Forty (aged between 35 65 y.o., employed at time enrollment) were randomly assigned two groups: Control group (C, n°21 patients) Biofeedback (B, n°19 patients). The...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has transformed the management of pathologies, including cuff tear arthropathy and osteoarthritis. The innovative design principles RSA, such as medialization inferiorization joint center rotation, distalization humerus, a semi-constrained construct, enable effective deltoid compensation for rotator deficiency. Grammont-style RSA demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes. However, complications like instability scapular notching prompted exploration...
The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes patients treated with metal or PEEK plates for three-four fragments fractures proximal humerus. Proximal humerus are common in practice represent 4-5% all most frequent after 65 years. ORIF screws treatment choice these fractures. Different materials now available CRF-PEEK used. Methods We enrolled 42 who underwent (21) a minimum follow up two Patients were evaluated using Costant Score (CS), Simple Shoulder Test (SST),...

Aim of the study is to highlight differences in outcomes patients treated with arthroscopic and open arthrolysis plate removal for stiff shoulders sequelae proximal humerus fracture. Fractures are frequently ORIF screws. The most frequent complication that affects these a very symptomatic shoulder stiffness. After failed rehabilitation release could be necessary. This operation usually gives good ROM due exceptions related arthritic changes. We enrolled 43 painful as fractures. In all cases...
Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture in elderly, producing an impressive social and economic burden. Their treatment is still controversial literature, with unconclusive evidence regarding best therapeutic choice. Osteosynthesis locking plates considered main surgical treatment, providing good clinical radiographic outcomes over solid biomechanical bases, even if high complication rates have been reported. The complications intra-articular screw penetration, varus...
