Rotator cuff tears affect 40% or more of those aged older than 60 years, and repair failure
rates of 20% to 70% remain a significant clinical challenge. Hence, there is a need for repair …

Rotator cuff injuries are common in both young and elderly patients. Despite improvements
in instrumentation and surgical techniques, the failure rates following tendon reconstruction …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived scaffolds continue to be investigated for the treatment of
volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries. Clinically, ECM scaffolds have been used for lower …

A rotator cuff tendon tear is a common shoulder injury with a relatively high rate of
recurrence after surgical repair. In order to reinforce the repair and reduce the risk of clinical …

BACKGROUND: Scaffolds continue to be developed and used for rotator cuff repair
augmentation, but clinical or biomechanical data to inform their use are limited. We have …

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 …
