Effect of rotator cuff dysfunction on the initial mechanical stability of cementless glenoid components [PDF]
, 2009 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 ...

The role of new synthetic membranes in rotator cuff augmentation. [PDF]
J Exp OrthopAbstract Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are a highly prevalent source of pain and disability. Despite advances in surgical repair techniques, high retear rates remain concerning. Biological augmentation using synthetic membranes has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance tendon regeneration and reduce the risk of repair failure.

Comparative effects of bone marrow stimulation and shockwave therapy on rotator cuff healing in chronic massive rotator cuff tears: A rat model study. [PDF]
J Exp OrthopAbstract Purpose Surgical intervention for massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT) has been found to result in positive outcomes; however, a high retear rate has frequently been reported. The present study employed a chronic MRCT model to assess the impact of microdrilling, a bone marrow stimulation (BMS) technique and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT ...

, 2021 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 ...
