Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy alters early healing in a rat model of rotator cuff injury and repair: Potential mechanisms. [PDF]
J Orthop Res, 2022 Rotator cuff repair failure remains common due to poor tendon healing, particularly at the enthesis. We previously showed that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy improved the mechanical properties of the rat supraspinatus tendon postoperatively.

A Dual-Factor Releasing Hydrogel for Rotator Cuff Injury Repair
Frontiers in Materials, 2021 Rotator cuff injury causes pain in the shoulder and is a challenge to be repaired even after surgical reconstruction. Here, we developed a dual-factor releasing hydrogel based on sulfhydrylated chitosan to deliver KGN and FGF-2 to the injured area to ...

Rotator cuff degeneration and healing after rotator cuff repair [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2023 Rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury that compromises both function and quality of life. Despite the prevalence of the injury and advancements in repair techniques, a significant percentage of these repairs fail.

Rotator Cuff Tendon Repair after Injury in Hyperlipidemic Swine Decreases Biomechanical Properties
Journal of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, 2023 Rotator cuff injury is the leading cause of shoulder pain. Hyperlipidemia is responsible in depositing lipids in tendons and reduce the healing upon injuries or tears.

A multi-center, single-blinded, randomized, parallel-group, superiority study to compare the efficacy of manipulation under anesthesia versus intra-articular steroid injection in the treatment of patients with frozen shoulder and a diagnosis of rotator cuff injury or tear by MRI: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
Trials, 2023 Background Frozen shoulder (FS) is a common condition that can cause severe pain and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. While intra-articular steroid injection has been shown to be an effective treatment for FS, manipulation under anesthesia (

Vitamin D and the immunomodulation of rotator cuff injury
Journal of Inflammation Research, 2016 Tendon-to-bone healing after rotator cuff repair surgery has a failure rate of 20%–94%. There has been a recent interest to determine the factors that act as determinants between successful and unsuccessful rotator cuff repair.
