The glenohumeral joint is a complex anatomic structure commonly affected by injury such as
tendinopathy and rotator cuff tears. This review presents an up-to-date overview of research …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a major component of the biomechanical environment with
which cells interact, and it plays important roles in both normal development and disease …

Overuse‐induced tendinopathy is highly prevalent in the general population. Percutaneous
fenestration, or dry needling, techniques have been increasing in popularity, but despite …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of an isolated full-thickness supraspinatus (SSP) tear on
glenohumeral kinematics and contact mechanics, as well as to quantify improvement …

Background The high incidence of rotator cuff disease combined with high failure rates for
nonoperative treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears underlines the importance of …

Nicotine is harmful to many bodily systems; however, the effects of nicotine on intra‐
substance tendon healing remain largely unexplored. The purpose of this study was to …

Background Fractures of the proximal humerus are common. The most frequent surgical
treatment option is open reduction and locking plate fixation. Multifragmentary fractures …

Supraspinatus tears often result in the setting of chronic tendinopathy. However, the typical
repair model utilizes an acute injury. In recognition of that distinction, our laboratory …

Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are one of the primary causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction in
the upper extremity accounting over 4.5 million physician visits per year with 250,000 rotator …

Background: If the balance of the rotator cuff force couple is disrupted, pseudoparalysis may
occur, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. This study investigated the effect of …
