Tensile Stimulation in Biorelevant Culture Conditions Enhances MSC and TPSC Tenogenesis on Aligned Electrospun Scaffolds

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Biomimetic electrospun scaffold incorporating GDF‐7‐loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles, combined with mechanical stimulation and physiological oxygen tension, guides tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cell and tendon progenitor stem cell. This integrated approach enhances cell proliferation, matrix deposition, and tendon‐specific gene

Achilles Tendon Ruptures in Young Female Basketball Players: A Case Series. [PDF]

, 2019
Achilles tendon ruptures are a common entity in middle-aged male athletes. There have been limited reports of these injuries in female athletes in general and no reports that we are aware of teenage female athletes with complete tears that required ...

Combined Superior Capsular Reconstruction and Lower Trapezius Transfer Using an Achilles Tendon Allograft Show Better Clinical Outcomes and Lower Graft Tear Rates Versus Isolated Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Chronic Posterosuperior Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Severe Fatty Infiltration in the Infraspinatus

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To compare the surgical outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) combined with lower trapezius transfer (LTT) using an Achilles tendon allograft versus isolated SCR for the treatment of posterosuperior irreparable massive rotator cuff tears with severe infraspinatus fatty infiltration (Goutallier grades 3‐4).

Disappointment and frustration, but long-term satisfaction: patient experiences undergoing treatment for a chronic Achilles tendon rupture—a qualitative study

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Delayed treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is generally due to either misdiagnosis or patient delay. When the treatment is delayed more than 4 weeks, the rupture is defined as “chronic”, and almost always requires more invasive surgery and ...

Using Platelet-Rich Plasma to Reverse the Effects of Tendinopathy and Prevent Tendon Re-rupture after Surgery in Athletes: The Search for a Standardized Protocol [PDF]

, 2016
30-50% of all lesions amateur and professional sports players will experience during activity are related to the tendon. Moreover, the incidence of tendinopathy, a precursor to tendon rupture, is much higher in both of these groups due to excessive ...

Cyclic loading of tendon fascicles using a novel fatigue loading system increases interleukin-6 expression by tenocytes [PDF]

, 2013
Repetitive strain or ‘overuse’ is thought to be a major factor contributing to the development of tendinopathy. The aims of our study were to develop a novel cyclic loading system, and use it to investigate the effect of defined loading conditions on the

Autologous Palmaris Longus Tendon Augmentation for Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract This technical note describes an arthroscopic technique that utilizes the autologous palmaris longus (PL) tendon to augment large to massive rotator cuff tears when complete repair is not feasible. The PL tendon is harvested through a minimal wrist incision and delivered intramuscularly into the supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus using a ...
