Arthroscopic versus mini-open rotator cuff repair: A meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Migliorini, F., Maffulli, N., Eschweiler, J., Schenker, H., Tingart, M., & Betsch, M. (2023). Arthroscopic versus mini-open rotator cuff repair: A meta-analysis. Surgeon, 21(1), e1-e12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surge.2021.11.005

Background An all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ASR) may result in less postoperative pain and better functional outcomes than the mini-open (MOR) approach. This meta-analysis provides an updated assessment of the current literature which compar... Read More about Arthroscopic versus mini-open rotator cuff repair: A meta-analysis.

Return to sport after arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (2021)
Journal Article

Strategies for large bone defect reconstruction after trauma, infections or tumour excision: a comprehensive review of the literature (2021)
Journal Article
Migliorini, F., La Padula, G., Torsiello, E., Spiezia, F., Oliva, F., & Maffulli, N. (2021). Strategies for large bone defect reconstruction after trauma, infections or tumour excision: a comprehensive review of the literature. European Journal of Medical Research, 26(1), Article ARTN 118. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40001-021-00593-9

Large bone defects resulting from musculoskeletal tumours, infections, or trauma are often unable to heal spontaneously. The challenge for surgeons is to avoid amputation, and provide the best functional outcomes. Allograft, vascularized fibular or i...
