Retear rates after arthroscopic repair of both partial-thickness and full-thickness rotator cuff tears are low, with no difference in the retear rate or postoperative shoulder stiffness rate for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Partial thickness tears involving the articular surface were the most common type of supraspinatus tear identified (34% of all supraspinatus tears) (Figure 9b).

This article is the first in a two-part series on surgical techniques for partial thickness rotator cuff tears. This article will cover the partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion or ...

Another important distinction is the difference between a full thickness tear and a partial thickness tear. When the rotator cuff tendon attaches to the bone, it attaches not at just one point but ...

Discussion The presence of increased apoptosis and p53 in partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon is accompanied by features of both degeneration as well as ongoing repair. Apoptosis may ...

Tears of the supraspinatus tendon are referred to as “full-thickness,” meaning that greater than 50 percent of the fibers that comprise the tendon are ruptured, or “partial-thickness ...

Another important distinction is the difference between a full thickness tear and a partial thickness tear. When the rotator cuff tendon attaches to the bone, it attaches not at just one point but ...

Evidence of a full thickness supraspinatus tear was associated with symptoms arising from the subacromial region, and a biceps tendon sheath effusion and an intact rotator cuff were associated ...
