Rotator cuff disease [PDF]

open access: greenCurrent Opinion in Rheumatology, 2001
The important role played by the rotator cuff in the stability and movement of the glenohumeral joint make it susceptible to damage and injury in patients of all age groups. A number of extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms have been described for the development of rotator cuff disease, although it is more likely that the actual etiology in any one ...

The Postoperative Rotator Cuff

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2020
MR imaging interpretation following rotator cuff repair can be challenging and requires familiarity with various types of rotator cuff tear, their surgical treatments, normal postoperative MR imaging appearance, and complications. This article reviews the common surgical procedures for the reparable and nonreparable massive rotator cuff tears, their ...

Rotator cuff disease [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2004
Rotator cuff disease is a complex condition. It includes a variety of pathologies, ranging from tendinosis to complete tear. The cause seems to be multifactorial and is most likely a combination of major trauma, microtrauma from daily wear and tear, and age related degeneration. When establishing a program for the patient with rotator cuff dysfunction,

Reconstruction of the rotator cuff

International Orthopaedics, 1983
The results of a new operative technique of reconstruction of the rotator cuff are described in 112 cases. The principle of the method is the restoration of the anatomy in order to restore function. Results so far have been encouraging, as 80% of the patients have benefited from the operation.

Rotator cuff repair

Joint Bone Spine, 2007
Rotator cuff surgery is developing at a fast pace, with progress in arthroscopic techniques driving much of its advance. Overall, functional outcomes are satisfactory. Tendon healing, however, is inconsistently obtained. Tendon healing correlates with better outcomes, most notably greater strength.

The rotator cuff

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995
The functional anatomy of the rotator cuff and its relationship to the mechanism of shoulder joint movements and control is now becoming more clearly understood. Common variations in the anatomy of the acromion and the subacromial region, particularly the coraco-acromial ligament, and its relationship to the tendon of the supraspinatus are now seen to ...

The Vascularity of the Rotator Cuff

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1991
The major arterial supply to the rotator cuff is derived from the ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery, the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery, as well as the suprascapular and posterior humeral circumflex arteries. The pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears has been considered to be influenced by the microvascular supply ...

Tears of the Rotator Cuff

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1995
Pain and loss of motion, the results of rotator cuff tears, can be disabling. Initially, treatment is conservative, but surgical repair may be indicated after failed nonoperative management. Rotator cuff anatomy is reviewed in this article as well as clinical and radiographic assessment of the patient with presumed rotator cuff pathology.
