Background: Tear completion followed by repair (TCR) and in situ repair (ISR) have been
widely used for bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs). Both techniques …

Background: There is an ongoing debate on the treatment of bursal-sided partial-thickness
rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs), including ideal repair techniques. Augmentation using a …

While rat models are frequently used for studying tendon healing, there is a lack of research
comparing various rotator cuff repair methods in this animal model. Determining the most …

Transtendon repair is increasingly applied in the treatment of PASTA (partial articular
supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions, but a “tendon hole” from anchor insertion, which will …

Background The partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesion repair
remains a topic of debate. We have performed in situ repair of PASTA lesions using a …

Background Transtendon repair and repair after completion of the tear have been widely
used to treat partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PT-RCTs). The present study was aimed to …

Objective The optimal repair method for bursal‐side partial‐thickness rotator cuff tears
(PTRCTs) involving> 50% of the thickness remains a controversial topic. The study was …

Rotator cuff tears are a common source of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Owing to the
multifaceted nature of these injuries, various viable methodologies exist for their surgical …

The lack of suitable animal models for the study of shoulder pathologies limits the research
in this field. An ideal animal shoulder model should have morphologic, histologic, and …

Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) can be articularsided, bursal-sided or
intratendinous. New research suggests that a considerable proportion (up to 30%) of cuff …
