Introduction Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a significant source of musculoskeletal disability. Accompanying muscle changes may be important determinants of the prognosis. The aim of this study was to ...

Use of either the transtendon technique or tear completion for the arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness subscapularis tears associated with full-thickness supraspinatus tears resulted in ...

An acute, full-thickness tear in a person with an otherwise normal shoulder is usually treated with immediate surgery to prevent muscle atrophy and further joint degeneration.

Shoulder pain due to the rotator cuff is one of the most common complaints presenting to an orthopedic surgeon's office. Lucas Rylander, M.D., a physician with the Orthopedic Center of Illinois ...

Tears of the supraspinatus tendon are referred to as “full-thickness,” meaning that greater than 50 percent of the fibers that comprise the tendon are ruptured, or “partial-thickness ...

Study results showed 23 patients had a full-thickness rotator cuff tear, with 21 tears involving the supraspinatus, eight involving the infraspinatus and seven involving the subscapularis.

New Information on Long-Term Outcomes of Supraspinatus Repair The researchers identified 511 patients at 15 French hospitals who underwent surgery in 2003 to repair isolated, complete (full ...

When the tear is more high grade, it tends to behave much like a full thickness tear. While it is uncommon for these partial tears to re-heal to the bone, true healing is not necessary for ...
