Background An association between higher preoperative Goutallier stage and higher retear
rates following primary rotator cuff repairs has been previously reported. However, there are …

Introduction We review the literature and highlight the important factors to consider when
counselling patients with non-traumatic rotator cuff tears on which route to take. Factors …

Occupation ratio and fatty infiltration are important parameters for evaluating patients with
rotator cuff tears. We analyzed the occupation ratio using a deep-learning framework and …

Background Chronic massive rotator cuff tears heal poorly and often retear. This study
investigated the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and transforming growth factor …

Background: Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) was developed as an alternative
treatment for irreparable rotator cuff tears to restore superior stability of the glenohumeral …

Purpose It was the aim of this study to analyze the clinical and radiographic outcome after
early arthroscopic repair regardless of the age of patients. Methods Patients with massive …

Purpose Fatty infiltration (FI) of the rotator cuff muscles occurs after rotator cuff tears (RCTs),
which may affect the outcome of the repair procedure. This study aimed to determine the …

Background There is limited evidence on clinical outcomes of arthroscopic partial repair
(APR) and latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) for posterosuperior massive rotator cuff …

Background The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is a common locus of pain in rotator
cuff tear and of residual pain after tendon repair. Therefore, systematic LHB tenotomy, with …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between lumbar
multifidus fat infiltration and lumbar postoperative surgical site infection (SSI). Several …
