The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily

Validation of the western ontario rotator cuff index in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A study protocol

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2011
Background Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is described as being a successful procedure. These results are often derived from clinical general shoulder examinations, which are then classified as 'excellent', 'good', 'fair' or 'poor'.

Interposition Grafting Using Fascia Lata Autograft for Failed Rotator Cuff Repairs

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques
Massive rotator cuff tears are a huge challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, as the patients may be in need of multiple operations, even including reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Failed rotator cuff repair

open access: yesOrthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2019
After rotator cuff repair, few patients require revision surgery, and failure to heal does not always translate into clinical failure, although healing is associated with better outcomes. Failure of rotator cuff repair is perceived differently by the patient, by the surgeon, and in terms of social and occupational abilities.

Rotator Cuff Tendon Adhesion to the Acromial Undersurface: Identification and Management Techniques

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2019
Identifying and mobilizing rotator cuff tissue during arthroscopic revision rotator cuff repair can be challenging. A particularly complex situation is encountered when rotator cuff tendons become adhered to surrounding bony structures.

Epidemiology of musculoskeletal upper extremity ambulatory surgery in the United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity are common reasons for patients to seek care and undergo ambulatory surgery. The objective of our study was to assess the overall and age-adjusted utilization rates of rotator cuff repair ...

Dyslipidemia is associated with risk for rotator cuff repair failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJSES Reviews, Reports, and Techniques, 2022
Background: Lipid deposition secondary to dyslipidemia (DLD) is shown to have a significant impact on tendon pathology, including tendon elasticity, fatty infiltration, and healing properties.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Superimposition of Rotator Cuff Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tear

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2017
Massive rotator cuff tears are particularly challenging to treat and severely limit the function of the shoulder. Compared with a small rotator cuff tear, massive tears are more unpredictable and usually present with low tendon quality.

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.

From In‐Silico Optimized Microfabrication to Experimental Validation: Engineering a Tridimensional Epi‐Intraneural Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An epi‐intraneural interface is developed through in silico optimization and a novel tridimensional microfabrication pipeline. The device integrates penetrating and epineural contacts on a flexible substrate. Mechanical, electrochemical, and in vivo testing in rat and pig reveal robust implantation, low‐threshold activation, and site‐dependent ...
