The treatment of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) has evolved. Nonsurgical treatment is adequate for
many patients; however, for those for whom surgical treatment is indicated, rotator cuff repair …

The fascia lata (FL) is a multi-layered connective tissue with anisotropic mechanical
behavior due to its fiber organization. It plays a key role in musculoskeletal functionality …

Human Fascia Lata (FL) is a connective tissue with a multilayered organization also known
as aponeurotic fascia. FL biomechanics is influenced by its composite structure formed by …

Background: Autologous fascia lata (AFL) graft use in arthroscopic superior capsular
reconstruction (ASCR) is effective for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) …

Simple Summary In arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) in irreparable
rotator cuff tears (IRCTs), a graft is positioned and fixed between the superior rim of the …

A novel 3D-printed clamping interface was designed to address challenges associated with
the tensile testing of soft biological tissues, particularly specimen slippage and failure at the …

Objectives To assess the ability of the arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) in
restoring glenohumeral stability in the presence of different preoperative patterns of …

Background Irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCT) are defined as defects that cannot be
repaired due to tendon retraction, fat infiltration, or muscle atrophy. One surgical remedy for …

Background The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is crucial for ensuring implant stability
after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Intraoperative MCL lesions can cause …

The fascial system has a multilayered organization in which each layer has its own role in
force transmission. Each layer's composition influences the biomechanical properties of the …
