Morphological Analysis of the Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Insertion: Implications for Optimizing Tendon Transfer Surgeries in Rotator Cuff Repair

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer is widely used to treat irreparable rotator cuff tears, particularly in cases with posterosuperior and anterosuperior tear patterns. We conducted a comprehensive anatomical analysis of the attachment of the LD tendon to the humerus, focusing on its morphological patterns and morphometric features, which ...

Expert appraisal in injuries of the shoulder rotator cuff

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2007
Background: Most of detected changes in the shoulder rotator cuff are the consequence of chronic changes. Fresh injuries of individual parts of the rotator cuff have to be proved without a doubt as soon as possible after the injury.

Suprascapular Nerve: Is It Important in Cuff Pathology?

open access: yesAdvances in Orthopedics, 2012
Suprascapular nerve and rotator cuff function are intimately connected. The incidence of suprascapular neuropathy has been increasing due to improved understanding of the disease entity and detection methods.

Murine Supraspinatus Tendons Demonstrate Aging‐Related Changes in Multiscale Mechanics, Structure, and Gene Expression

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rotator cuff disorders are common in the aging population, often leading to pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Age‐associated changes can occur disproportionately in regions of high mechanical stress, such as the insertion site of the supraspinatus tendon, leading to increased injury rates and tendinopathies.

Targeting danger molecules in tendinopathy: the HMGB1/TLR4 axis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: To seek evidence of the danger molecule, high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) expression in human tendinopathy and thereafter, to explore mechanisms where HMGB1 may regulate inflammatory mediators and matrix regulation in human tendinopathy.

Chitosan/Platelet‐Rich Plasma Implants in an Ovine Arthroscopic Model of Meniscus Repair

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the availability of various repair techniques, many meniscal tears remain irreparable. A freeze‐dried chitosan‐based formulation reconstituted in autologous platelet‐rich plasma has shown potential in preclinical studies for enhancing suture‐based meniscus repair.
