Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Italian versions of the Kujala, Larsen, Lysholm and Fulkerson scores in patients with patellofemoral disorders.
Simone Cerciello,Katia Corona,Brent J. Morris,Enrico Visonà,Giulio Maccauro,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli,Mario Ronga +7 more
TL;DR: The Italian versions of the Kujala, Larsen, Lysholm and Fulkerson scoring systems were shown to be equivalent to their English versions and demonstrated good validity, reliability and responsiveness to surgical treatment of patellofemoral pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Augmentation or reconstruction of PCL? A quantitative review
TL;DR: Augmentation and reconstruction procedures are grossly equivalent, but more data examining the long-term functional status, recovery to preinjury daily and sport activities and occurrence of degenerative changes are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Autologous Expanded Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells or Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma in Chronic Patellar Tendinopathy (With Gap >3 mm): Preliminary Outcomes After 6 Months of a Double-Blind, Randomized, Prospective Study.
Gil Rodas,Robert Soler-Rich,Joan Rius-Tarruella,Xavier Alomar,Ramon Balius,Lluis Orozco,Lorenzo Masci,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the success of traditional management, including isometric or eccentric exercises combined with shockwave therapy and even surgery, is limited, and therefore, the authors propose a new approach for knee tendinopathy management.
Journal Article
The effectiveness and safety of vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. A double blind, prospective, randomized, controlled study
Umile Giuseppe Longo,Mattia Loppini,Luca Denaro,Maria Luisa Brandi,Nicola Maffulli,Vincenzo Denaro +5 more
TL;DR: The efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty compared with standard conservative care for the management of patients with painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures is evaluated in a randomised controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transglutaminases expression in human supraspinatus tendon ruptures and in mouse tendons.
Francesco Oliva,Loredana Zocchi,Andrea Codispoti,Eleonora Candi,Monica Celi,Gerry Melino,Nicola Maffulli,Umberto Tarantino +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that different transglutaminase family members are differentially expressed in human and mouse tendons, and that transglUTaminase 2 is down-regulated at mRNA and protein levels upon human supraspinatus tendon ruptures.
