Genetics of rotator cuff tears: no association of col5a1 gene in a case-control study
Umile Giuseppe Longo,Umile Giuseppe Longo,Katia Margiotti,Stefano Petrillo,Giacomo Rizzello,Caterina Fusilli,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli,Alessandro De Luca,Vincenzo Denaro +9 more
TL;DR: No correlations between the SNP rs12722 of col5a1 gene and RC tears susceptibility was found and no significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies was observed between RT tears patients and healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: plate position and biomechanics of the medial tibial plateau
Pilar Martinez de Albornoz,Manuel Leyes,Francisco Forriol,Angelo Del Buono,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli +5 more
TL;DR: The system was shown to withstand higher loads with less displacement when the plate was posterior than it could do with the plate in the middle position and to provide greater stability when applied in a more posterior position.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Rates of Damage to the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament, Lateral Trochlea and Patellar Crest after Acute Patellar Dislocation: MRI Analysis.
Filippo Migliorini,Marco Pilone,Jörg Eschweiler,E. MArsilio,Frank Hildebrand,Nicola Maffulli +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a multivariate analysis to investigate whether the presence of pathoanatomic abnormalities, including structural differences in the knees of the patients, is associated with the features of the lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pharmacological management of chronic lower back pain.
Filippo Migliorini,Nicola Maffulli,Jörg Eschweiler,Marcel Betsch,Giovanni Catalano,Arne Driessen,Markus Tingart,Alice Baroncini +7 more
TL;DR: Only baclofen, duloxetine, NSAIDs, and opiates showed to improve pain and disability levels in patients with LBP, but the patients’ demographics are heterogeneous, and the results must be interpreted with caution and in the light of possible adverse events connected to the use of these drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluoroquinolones and the Risk of Achilles Tendon Disorders: Update on a Neglected Complication.
Alexandre Leme Godoy-Santos,Homero Bruschini,Jose Cury,Miguel Srougi,Cesar de Cesar-Netto,Lucas Furtado da Fonseca,Nicola Maffulli +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that male gender, advanced age, normal body mass index, chronic renal failure, and concurrent use of corticosteroids increase the risk of Achilles tendon disorders.
