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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study provides new evidence that early surgery for supraspinatus tears can improve long-term outcomes by preventing later rotator cuff muscle degeneration.

ATLANTA — Presented results showed patients undergoing partial arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears had positive long-term clinical and radiological outcomes with minimal ...
