2° in flexion postop and 2.5° in extension postop. Data showed greater reduction of extension than flexion in postoperative period. see more Dynamic neutralization limits more the extension than flexion. The correct preoperative planning, the careful selection of patients and the meticulous surgical technique are mandatory to avoid clinical failures. It is very important to identify the correct screw positioning and to avoid excessive pre-tensioning of the implant. Posterior dynamic neutralization and hybrid stabilization are valid alternative to spinal fusion in degenerative spine disease.Osteoarthritis (OA) represents an inflammation-driven injury of articular tissues, progressively leading to structural and functional joint impairment. The main symptom of OA is pain. Although it has been well established that OA represents a whole joint disease, the source of pain remains to be clarified. Nowadays, it has been well established that neurotrophines expression is evident in joints affected by OA. In addition, elevated NGF levels are found in the synovial fluid of patients with inflammatory or degenerative rheumatic diseases, including OA, rheumatoid arthritis and spondylarthritis. Growing evidences indicate that blocking NGF signaling using an anti NGF agent (i.e. tanezumab) provides effective pain relief. This study analyzed the effects of NGF and BDNF on cultured human chondrocytes by evaluating and their effects on chondrogenesis, chondrocyte differentiation and cartilage degeneration through a microarray analysis. The whole transcriptome analysis performed in this study highlighted how NGF and BDNF could be able to induce a proinflammatory response in human chondrocytes. Moreover, NGF and BDNF treatments seems to be able to induce the activation of several genes involved in the OA pathogenesis as IL17AR, HLA-DRB1, GDF-15, NR1D1, MCF2L and TGF-Beta.The use of minimally invasive direct anterior approach to perform total hip arthroplasty is gaining increasing popularity for its short-term advantages, compared to other approaches. Nevertheless, its use in hip revision surgery has been criticized. We report here the first case of hip septic arthritis treated with two-stage THA through this tissue-sparing approach, with good implant positioning and functional results.Preoperative anaemia and non-anaemic iron deficiency are independent risk factors for perioperative blood transfusion, morbidity, and mortality. Although the efficacy to treat anaemia with iron infusion before elective surgery has been widely studied, the literature offers few data about the efficacy of treating iron deficient, non-anaemic patients before elective surgery. This retrospective study assessed the effect of preoperative ferric carboxymaltose (FC) administration on the concentration of Haemoglobin (Hb) in iron deficient, non-anaemic individuals following total knee or hip arthroplasty. A treatment group of 83 non-anaemic iron deficient individuals scheduled for arthroplasty were administered a 1000mg FC infusion over 15 minutes 4 weeks prior to surgery. In the control group (n=62) FC was not administered preoperatively. No individual from either group was given any iron supplement following the pre-operative visit. Blood tests were performed and analysed 4-weeks before surgery, on admission, and then 2-days, 4-days and 4-weeks postoperatively. Number of blood transfusions performed and adverse events were recorded. Hb concentration did not change substantially after iron supplementation prior to surgery. No difference in the number of blood transfusions was observed. In the treatment, group postoperative Hb concentration recovered significantly more quickly compared to control (p=0.0047). No adverse event was reported. The administration of FC in non-anaemic iron deficient individuals quickens the restoration of Hb concentration following THA or TKA procedures.Shoulder stiffness is a condition of painful restriction in active and passive glenohumeral range of motion, which can arise spontaneously or as consequence of a known cause. Numerous therapeutic approaches are available; however, no consensus has been reached on the best algorithm for successful treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate local practice patterns regarding management of primary shoulder stiffness. Randomized controlled trials reporting results of shoulder stiffness treatment were collected and analyzed prior to study begin. Controversial elements in the treatment of primary shoulder stiffness were identified and a survey was created and administrated to clinicians participating at an annual national congress dedicated to shoulder pathologies and their treatment. 55 completed questionnaires were collected. Physical therapy was recommended by 98% of the interviewed. The use of oral corticosteroids was considered by 58% and injections of corticosteroids by 60%. Injective therapy with local anaesthetics was considered by 56% of the clinicians and acupuncture by 36%. 38% of the interviewed did never treat shoulder stiffness surgically. Various strategies to manage shoulder stiffness have been proposed and high-level evidence has been published. Numerous controversial points and a substantial lack of consensus emerged both from literature reviews and from this survey. The treatment of shoulder stiffness should be tailored to the patient's clinical situation and the stage of its pathology, aiming primarily at identifying risk factors for recurrence, reducing pain, restoring range of motion and function and shortening the duration of symptoms.The aim of our study was to define if Arthroscopic Transosseous Rotator Cuff Techniques should have comparable results to those of the suture-anchors technique in a single row configuration. We reported the preliminary results of a consecutive population of 22 patients who underwent a rotator cuff treatment on the left and right sides for average medium-sized thickness tears with minimal fatty infiltration with the two different techniques transosseous rotator cuff repair technique on one side and single row with suture-anchors on the other side, in different times. Subjective evaluation with DASH questionnaires, Constant Scores and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain evaluation, have been submitted pre and postoperatively after both operations. A statistical analysis was performed to assess the superiority of one technique and to compare pre and postoperative ROM data and clinical outcomes. A transosseous rotator cuff repair was performed in 7 patients on the dominant arm, while the other 15 patients had dominant arm cuff tear lesions repaired by using suture-anchors technique.
