In this case series study, we evaluated patients aged from 20 to 44 years, with diagnosis of first episode of traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. All participants underwent a conservative treatment protocol, lasting 3 months. The primary outcome measure was the Rowe score for instability. Follow-up evaluations were done at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. We evaluated 32 participants mean aged 27.94 ± 2.23 years. At the baseline (T 0), the participants had a mean Rowe score of instability of 44.53 ± 7.00 SD, where 81.25 % had a poor score and 18.75 % had a fair score. At 24 months (T 4), the Rowe score for instability was 79.84 ± 6.66 SD. 21.88 % of patients had a fair score, 71.87 % had a good score, and 6.25 % had an excellent score. We showed that our rehabilitative approach seems to be effective in the conservative management of shoulder instability in adults with first episode of traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation, not involved in sport activity, and not overhead workers.

In 2 cases stem cells were drew by a peripheral blood aphaeresis after two days of stimulation with G-CSF and in the other two cases they were drew from the femoral bone marrow blood through condile. Surgery can be performed in through a mini-open. Results: All patients well accepted the methodic, in all cases there was the total desappear of pain between the 40 and 50 days after surgery. In one of these patient it was possible to perform a second arthroscopic look with histologic drawnings that showed the presence of hyaline cartilage Conclusions: we think that this technique is reliable and sure, our foolow-up is short but the results are encouraging: we will go on with this study so that a longer follow-up will give us more security P41 Autologous chondrocyte implantation and high tibial osteotomy in the treatment of osteochondral defects in the malaligned knee
Treatment of articular cartilage lesions of the knee joint using a modified AMIC technique

This technique allows advantages of both the Pridie technique and the in situ proliferation of mesenchymal cells beneath a biological collagen membrane, 'augmented', with bone marrow blood. The collagen membrane forms the roof of a 'biological chamber', and serves to protect and contains the stem cells as they differentiate into chondrocytes, which will form a healthy regenerative cartilage.

Although open surgery is traditionally advocated, an arthroscopic approach may be safe and effective.

The same investigation was conducted for painful active internal rotation (AIR). a multicenter prospective study was conducted in a series of patients scheduled to undergo arthroscopic posterosuperior cuff repair. Pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH) was administered. The VAS score at rest, DASH score, and presence/absence of pain on FIR and AIR were recorded and their relationships with lesions of the lateral pulley, cuff tear patterns and shape of lesions were analyzed. the study population consisted of 115 patients (mean age: 55.1 years) recruited from 12 centers. The dominant arm was affected in 72 cases (62.6%). The average anteroposterior extension of the lesion was 1.61 cm. The mean preo...
