The ability of articular cartilage to repair itself is limited because it lacks blood vessels,
nerves, and lymph tissue. Once damaged, it can lead to joint swelling and pain, accelerating …

Tendons connect muscles to bones, ensuring joint movement. With advanced age, tendons
become more prone to degeneration followed by injuries. Tendon repair often requires …

Regeneration of the gradient structure of the tendon-to-bone interface (TBI) is a crucial goal
after rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a …

Background Despite advancements in the surgical techniques of rotator cuff repair (RCR),
there remains a high retear rate. Biological augmentation of repairs with overlaying grafts …

Decellularized xenografts are an inherent component of regenerative medicine. Their
preserved structure, mechanical integrity and biofunctional composition have well …

Background: The lack of healing at the repaired tendon-bone interface is an important cause
of failure after rotator cuff repair. While augmentation with growth factors (GFs) has …

Background: Being overweight or obese is associated with poor outcomes and an increased
risk of failure after rotator cuff (RC) surgery. However, the effect of obesity on enthesis …

Background: Owing to limited self-healing capacity, failure of rotator cuff tendon healing is a
common complication after surgery. Biological scaffolds have garnered attention owing to …

Background: Repair of massive rotator cuff tears remains a challenging process with mixed
success. There is a growing interest in the use of patches to augment the repair construct …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an extracellular matrix
scaffold with multilayer decellularized tendon slices (MDTSs) for reconstructing large rotator …
