Ligament and tendon injuries are common problems in orthopedics. There is a need for
treatments that can expedite nonoperative healing or improve the efficacy of surgical repair …

Background There is no consensus on the treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears.
The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to (1) compare patient-reported …

Although gradients play an essential role in guiding the function of tissues, achieving
synchronous regeneration of gradient tissue injuries remains a challenge. Here, a gradient …

Electrospun fibers, with proven ability to promote tissue regeneration, are widely being
explored for rotator cuff repairing. However, without post treatment, the microstructure of the …

The tendon–bone interface has a complex gradient structure vital for stress transmission and
pressure buffering during movement. However, injury to the gradient tissue, especially the …

Purpose To systematically review and evaluate the efficacy and complication profile of
superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) as a technique to address massive, irreparable …

Abstract Background Since Mihata's 2012 proposal to arthroscopically reconstruct the
superior capsule of patients with massive irreparable cuff tears, many studies have reported …

Abstract Purpose of the Review To discuss tear-and patient-related factors that influence the
healing potential of rotator cuff tears and to clarify the terminology surrounding this topic …

Introduction We review the literature and highlight the important factors to consider when
counselling patients with non-traumatic rotator cuff tears on which route to take. Factors …

Architectured materials offer tailored mechanical properties but are limited in engineering
applications due to challenges in maintaining toughness across their attachments. The …
