Introduction Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a significant source of musculoskeletal disability. Accompanying muscle changes may be important determinants of the prognosis. The aim of this study was to ...

Severe rotator cuff injuries, such as full-thickness tears, often require surgery because the supraspinatus tendon (or one of the other rotator cuff tendons) becomes detached from the humerus ...

Results showed the mean total thickness of the supraspinatus tendon increased by 12.5% for medium tears and by 17.1% for large tears between baseline and 2-year follow-up. Researchers found 11.5% ...

In natural-history studies of degenerative rotator-cuff tears, at 5 years of follow-up, the tears were enlarged in half the persons with full-thickness tears, 9 and the tears had progressed to ...

This all-encompassing strategy customizes a successful healing schedule. Partial and full-thickness tears are separated using the rotator cuff protocol.

FTT—patients over 35 years with a full thickness rotator cuff tear undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery. Samples were taken under ultrasound guidance from the supraspinatus tendon.

Use of a highly porous collagen implant induced new tendon-like tissue formation in patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, according to results.Researchers attached a highly porous ...

The researchers identified 511 patients at 15 French hospitals who underwent surgery in 2003 to repair isolated, complete (full-thickness) supraspinatus tears.
