Expansion of Knowledge of PRP/Stem Cell Therapy overseas!

In early October, Dr. Cunningham was invited to attend O.A.S.I with Dr. Alberto Gobbi, Milan, Italy, with the goal of gaining up-to-date knowledge and experience in the newest technology with PRP/Stem cell therapy in Europe. This being his third time to observe stem cell techniques in Italy/western Europe, he was able to sit in on multiple cases and bring back advanced knowledge to Central Texas.

"Since PRP & Stem cell therapy is a passion of mine, going to extra mile in obtaining the most recent knowledge never seems like work, but rather energizes me to continue my efforts in giving the best patient care," said Dr. Kelly Cunningham.

"It never hurts that the practice is in such a beautiful part of the world, and everyone in that medical community is so welcoming and energetic", he noted.

Below is some information about the organization as well as some images from the trip.

O.A.S.I. (Orthopaedic Arthroscopic Surgery International) Bioresearch Foundation Gobbi Onlus, is a non-profit organization, that was founded by Dr. Alberto Gobbi with the intention of bringing together experts in Orthopaedic trauma specialized in micro-invasive surgery and in the treatment of Sports Injuries.

In Milan, in collaboration with the AISPO (Associazione Italiana di Solidarietà tra i Popoli) San Raffaele, the O.A.S.I. Foundation has created a team of doctors, bioengineers and internationally renowned researchers who are conducting research on the application of stem cells and growth factors in Orthopedics and Sports Traumatology.

O.A.S.I. created a database that contains information on the most important orthopedic centers in the world and documents their willingness to carry out programs of education and refinement. O.A.S.I. Bioresearch Foundation Gobbi Onlus, is recognized as an International Teaching Center by ISAKOS (International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery & Orthopaedic Sports Medicine) and ICRS (International Cartilage Repair Society).
