Banca di Materiale Biologico Per lo Studio di Patologie Che Interessano l'Apparato Muscolo-scheletrico

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

collection of waste materials: osteoarthritis of the hip or knee and rehabilitated in the institute; primary and secondary tumors of the skeleton; prosthetic examination as a result of plant infection

Study summary

Musculoskeletal disorders are an heterogeneous group of diseases that represent one of the major causes of disability. Considering the importance of studying these pathologies, it is necessary to develop research lines based on the availability of human biological material from highly clinically relevant patients. The purpose of this project is therefore the establishment of a bank of biological material (biobank) to investigate important aspects related to the pathologies of the musculoskeletal system through subsequent bio-molecular characterization studies.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• BioBanking of waste biological materials — 5 years
  The aim of the project is to create a biobanch of waste material from patients undergoing prosthetic surgery and hospital rehabilitation and oncologic orthopedic surgery to be used in specific studies aimed at defining the pathophysiological bases and / or new possible criteria Diagnostic / prognosis of locomotor system pathologies and, specifically, osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, primary and secondary bone tumors, infection of hip and knee prostheses requiring plant revision.
