Coverage of the Humeral Head by the Coracoacromial Arch: Relationship with Rotator Cuff Tears [PDF]
The pathogenetic roles of the coracoacromial arch in the development of rotator cuff tears are still controversial. This study compared the anteroposterior coverage of the humeral head by the coracoacromial arch between shoulders with and without full ...

A lipid metabolite lipidomics assay for prediction and severity evaluation of rotator cuff injury
ObjectiveRotator cuff injury can be caused by local inflammation and fibrosis of musculotendinous cuff. Hypercholesterolemia can lead to physiological changes of rotator cuff that resemble rotator cuff injury.

Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations: Prevalence of concomitant rotator cuff tear
Background: Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations are relatively common. However, an associated rotator cuff tear is often missed with these injuries.

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

AbstractShoulder pain accounts for 16% of the musculoskeletal complaints and represents an important cause of absenteeism of work. Abnormalities of the rotator cuff, including tears, are frequently seen on imaging studies. Unfortunately, asymptomatic tears are frequent, up to 60% in patients older than 60 years old; therefore clinical correlation is ...

Surgical Options for Failed Rotator Cuff Repair, except Arthroplasty: Review of Current Methods [PDF]
Although the prevalence of rotator cuff tears is dependent on the size, 11% to 94% of patients experience retear or healing failure after rotator cuff repair.

Exposure of a tendon extracellular matrix to synovial fluid triggers endogenous and engrafted cell death: A mechanism for failed healing of intrathecal tendon injuries [PDF]
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of normal synovial fluid (SF) on exposed endogenous tendon-derived cells (TDC) and engrafted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within the tendon extracellular matrix. Methods: Explants from equine

Massive rotator cuff tears are particularly challenging to treat and severely limit the function of the shoulder. Compared with a small rotator cuff tear, massive tears are more unpredictable and usually present with low tendon quality.
