Research projects

BECOME A SPONSOR OF THE “LIVIO SCIUTTO FOUNDATION-ONLUS”

The modest financial resources the State allocates to research places Italy in a less-than-stellar position in global scientific research.

The crisis of the Welfare State determines a constant increase of civil society structures within the non-profit sphere that are safeguarding the rights and needs of the less fortunate segments of the population, especially regarding social health care.

In order to satisfy, albeit in part, these needs, we need the collaboration of private citizens, entities and companies; with their financial contribution, they help research in the social health care sector.

A company investing in the non-profit sector not only is a gesture of social solidarity for the benefit of those less fortunate, it can also become a new channel of communication to improve its external image, with positive returns on the notoriety of the company name, customer loyalty and competitive market situation.

This section lists the projects that have been financed, even partially, by the sponsorship of private entities and companies.

THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE, LED AND CHAIRED BY DR. GUIDO GRAPPIOLO, PROPOSES THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH PROJECTS FOR 2009 in the following sectors:

• Minimally invasive surgical techniques, including the development of new, more conservative prostheses;
• Computer-assisted surgery, both for hip and knee procedures;
• Development of stem cell cultures for bone and tissue regeneration;
• Technologically innovative materials for orthopaedic prostheses (post-marketing study);
• Surgical methods integrated with anaesthesiology and physiotherapeutic aspects that would allow shorter hospitalisation times, fast functional recovery and less pain;
• Professional update methodologies for orthopaedic physicians;
• New diagnostic-therapeutic procedures in cooperation with the Radiology Department; design and update of a software allowing improved service and useful social health care interventions for the prevention and cure of all pathologies affecting human beings.
