Mitochondrial transfer and transplantation in tendon, ligament, and enthesis repair: current evidence, mechanistic rationale, and regenerative opportunities [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyTendon, ligament, and enthesis injuries often heal through fibrovascular scar rather than restoration of native matrix organization, mechanical function, and graded interface architecture.

Options in Tendon Transfers for Anterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tears: Review [PDF]
Travmatologiâ i Ortopediâ Rossii, 2023 Background. Irreparable anterior-superior rotator cuff tears can cause significant shoulder dysfunction due to the failure of normal biomechanics of the joint, because of the loss of compressive effect of the rotator cuff on the humeral head.

A method for the treatment of patients with massive tears of the rotator cuff: a clinical case [PDF]
Клиническая практика, 2022 Background: Rotator cuff tears are the most common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction in older patients. Tears with the retraction greater than 5 cm or with the involvement of two and more tendons are considered massive.

Surgical treatment of massive rotator cuff tears (literature review)
Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2023 The prevalence of rotator cuff tears according to the literature ranges from 20 % to 40 %, and this injury occurs more often in people over 60 years of age. Massive rotator cuff tears account for 10–40 % of all rotator cuff tears.

International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2023 # Background Recently, researchers have commented that shoulder special tests cannot identify the structure causing rotator cuff symptoms and should only be considered pain provocation tests. Others have disagreed, reporting that special tests were able

Transcriptional time course after rotator cuff repair in 6 month old female rabbits
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: Rotator cuff tears are prevalent in the population above the age of 60. The disease progression leads to muscle atrophy, fibrosis, and fatty infiltration, which is not improved upon with surgical repair, highlighting the need to better ...

Dynamic three-dimensional shoulder kinematics in patients with massive rotator cuff tears: a comparison of patients with and without subscapularis tears [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2022 Background Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) with subscapularis (SSC) tears cause severe shoulder dysfunction. In the present study, the influence of SSC tears on three-dimensional (3D) shoulder kinematics during scapular plane abduction in patients ...
