The reconstruction of musculoskeletal defects is a constant challenge for orthopaedic
surgeons. Musculoskeletal injuries such as fractures, chondral lesions, infections and tumor …

Background The tendon or ligament is attached to the bone by a triphasic but continuous
area of heterogeneous tissue called the tendon-bone interface (TBI). The rapid and …

The anatomical structure at bone‐tendon and bone‐ligament interfaces is called the
enthesis. Histologically, the enthesis is characterized by a transitional series of tissue layers …

The purpose of this study was to use our established partial patellectomy rabbit model to
study the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on patella-patellar tendon (PPT) …

Displaced fractures of patella often require open reduction surgery and internal fixation to
restore the extensor continuity and articular congruity. Fracture fixation with biodegradable …

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) has been proven to be a
beneficial biophysical therapy for tendon-bone (TB) healing. However, the optimal time to …

Background Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is indicated for treatment of chronic injuries
of soft tissues and delayed fracture healing and nonunion. No investigation has been …

Background Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound has been demonstrated to be beneficial for
accelerating fracture healing, delayed union, nonunion, and soft tissue repair. Hypothesis …

Background: Surgical repair around the bone-tendon insertion (BTI) may involve bone-to-
bone (BB), bone-to-tendon (BT), or tendon-to-tendon (TT) reattachment with varying healing …

The objective of this study was to elucidate the combined use of low‐intensity pulsed
ultrasound (LIPUS) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) on patella–patellar tendon …
