Journal ArticleDOI
Microfractures at the rotator cuff footprint: a randomised controlled study.
TL;DR: Microfractures at the footprint are simple, safe, inexpensive and effective at producing less pain in the short term in patients who undergo rotators cuff repair, but at two years they do not result in significantly different outcomes, either clinically or at imaging, compared to traditional rotator cuff repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Human Tenocyte Cultures From Supraspinatus and Quadriceps Tendons
Denaro,Laura Ruzzini,Simona Angela Barnaba,Umile Giuseppe Longo,Stefano Campi,Nicola Maffulli,Alessandro Sgambato +6 more
TL;DR: PEMFs comparable with the ones used for the management of pseudoarthrosis stimulate closure of an in vitro laceration of a tenocyte monolayer and provide the preliminary in vitro work and the basis to support the study of the in vivo effects of PEMFs on tendinopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of the reverse shoulder replacement in rotator cuff arthropathy, rotator cuff tears, and rheumatoid arthritis.
TL;DR: The reverse shoulder arthroplasty prosthesis was originally designed for rotator cuff arthropathy, and provided good results, but over time, the indications have expanded to include, among others, irreparable rotators cuff tears and rheumatoid arthritis, and the results have become more variable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Home-based vs supervised rehabilitation programs following knee surgery: a systematic review.
Rocco Papalia,Sebastiano Vasta,Andrea Tecame,Stefano D'Adamio,Nicola Maffulli,Vincenzo Denaro +5 more
TL;DR: The supervised and home-based protocols did not show an overall significant difference in the outcomes achieved within the studies reviewed, and better designed studies are needed to show a clear superiority of one rehabilitation approach over another and its applicability to the various surgical procedures involving the knee.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single application of low-energy radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy is effective for the management of chronic patellar tendinopathy.
TL;DR: A single application of radial SWT is an effective treatment for chronic patellar tendinopathy and 12 months after treatment was statistically greater in the SWT group compared to the control group.
