Modified margin convergence: over-under lacing suture technique [PDF]
The principle of margin convergence can be applied to rotator cuff repair to enhance the security of fixation by decreasing the mechanical strain at the margins of the tear.

Differences in Risk Factors for Rotator Cuff Tears between Elderly Patients and Young Patients [PDF]
It has been unclear whether the risk factors for rotator cuff tears are the same at all ages or differ between young and older populations. In this study, we examined the risk factors for rotator cuff tears using classification and regression tree ...

Clinical results of arthroscopic polyglycolic acid sheet patch graft for irreparable rotator cuff tears [PDF]
The high retear rates after surgery for irreparable rotator cuff tears can be explained by the healing capacity potential of tendons and the native rotator cuff enthesis characterised by complex morphological structures, called direct insertion.

Effect of rotator cuff dysfunction on the initial mechanical stability of cementless glenoid components [PDF]
The functional outcome of shoulder replacement is related to the condition of the rotator cuff. Rotator cuff disease is a common problem in candidates for total shoulder arthroplasty; this study relates the functional status of the rotator cuff to the ...

Double-Row Repair Technique for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears [PDF]
Rotator cuff pathology is a common cause of shoulder pain in the athletic and general population. Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) are commonly encountered and can be bursal-sided, articular-sided, or intratendinous.

Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair With Soft Tissue Scaffolds [PDF]
Background Tears of the rotator cuff are one of the most common tendon disorders. Treatment often includes surgical repair, but the rate of failure to gain or maintain healing has been reported to be as high as 94%. This has been substantially attributed

The effects of hyperlipidemia on rotator cuff diseases: a systematic review
Background Rotator cuff disease is a common condition that causes shoulder pain and functional disability. Recent studies suggested that hyperlipidemia might be associated with the development of rotator cuff disease.
