Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations: Prevalence of concomitant rotator cuff tear
Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2023 Background: Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations are relatively common. However, an associated rotator cuff tear is often missed with these injuries.

Surgical Options for Failed Rotator Cuff Repair, except Arthroplasty: Review of Current Methods [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2020 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]
, 2016 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

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous treatment of a calcific acromioclavicular joint: A case report [PDF]
, 2020 Rationale:Calcific tendinopathy is one of the most frequent causes of nontraumatic shoulder pain. However, intra-articular calcifications appear to be an infrequent condition.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Wound closure is governed by geometry‐orientation coupling: aligned fibers speed migration along their axis but hinder perpendicular advance. In vivo diabetic wound experiments with composition‐matched fibrin, combined with an anisotropic diffusion (biased random‐walk) model, quantify this trade‐off and generate a healing landscape.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Genetic basis of rotator cuff injury: a systematic review
BMC Medical Genetics, 2019 Background Rotator cuff disease is a widespread musculoskeletal pathology and a major cause of shoulder pain. Studies on familial predisposition suggest that genetic plays a role in the pathogenesis of rotator cuff disease.

Do Outcomes of Arthroscopic Subscapularis Tendon Repairs Depend on Rotator Cuff Fatty Infiltration? [PDF]
, 2020 Background:Rotator cuff fatty infiltration has been correlated with poorer radiographic and clinical outcomes in supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon repairs, but this has not been well-studied in subscapularis tendon repairs.
