Tissue Engineering for Rotator Cuff Repair: An Evidence-Based Systematic Review
Stem Cells International, 2012 The purpose of this systematic review was to address the treatment of rotator cuff tears by applying tissue engineering approaches to improve tendon healing, specifically platelet rich plasma (PRP) augmentation, stem cells, and scaffolds.

Arthroscopic repair of large and massive rotator cuff tears—“sandwich augmentation” with the long head of the biceps tendon: a technical note [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and ElbowFor most shoulder surgeons, addressing massive rotator cuff tears that have retracted ends poses a significant challenge. This study introduces a technique, termed the “sandwich augmentation technique,” which incorporates the long head of the biceps ...

Ultrastructure and Pathoanatomy of the Rotator Cuff [PDF]
, 2015 The rotator cuff is a complex musculotendinous unit, which plays a major role in glenohumeral joint stability and mobilization. Tears of the rotator cuff tendon and its subsequent changes of the rotator cuff muscle are common, and the incidence increases

Teres Minor Hypertrophy is a Common and Negative Predictor of Outcomes after Rotator Cuff Repair
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016 Objectives: The teres minor has received increased attention in its role as a rotator cuff muscle, particularly in the setting of large infraspinatus tears. Studies have shown that it plays an important beneficial role after total (TSA) and reverse (RSA)

Tensile and shear mechanical properties of rotator cuff repair patches.
, 2012 Augmentation of rotator cuff tears aims to strengthen the repair and reduce rerupture, yet studies still report high failure rates. This study determines key mechanical properties of rotator cuff repair patches, including establishing values for ...

All-Arthroscopic Patch Augmentation of a Massive Rotator Cuff Tear: Surgical Technique
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2013 Surgical management of massive rotator cuff tears remains challenging, with failure rates ranging from 20% to 90%. Multiple different arthroscopic and open techniques have been described, but there is no current gold standard.

Outcomes of repaired and intact rotator cable in large posterosuperior rotator cuff ruptures
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with large posterosuperior rotator cuff tears between those with intact rotator cables (crescent-shaped tears) and those with repaired rotator cables (U-, V-, or L ...
