Tendon-bone insertion injuries such as rotator cuff and anterior cruciate ligament injuries
are currently highly common and severe. The key method of treating this kind of injury is the …

High initial fixation strength, mechanical stability and biological healing of the tendon-to-
bone interface are the main goals after rotator cuff repair surgery. Advances in the …

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains various growth factors and appears to
have a potential to promote tendon healing, but evidence is lacking regarding its effect on …

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is expected to have a biological augmentation
potential in the healing of various diseases and injuries, including rotator cuff tears …

Background: Two main questions about the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for
regeneration purposes are its effect on the speed of healing and the quality of healing …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a marrow-stimulating technique with microfractures of
the greater tuberosity during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS: Eighty patients with …

Background: Despite recent advances in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, the retear rate
remains high. New methods to optimize healing rates must be sought. Bone channeling may …

Background: The high failure rate after surgical repair of massive rotator cuff tears is a
consistent problem. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of …

Background: Multiple channeling is a straightforward additional procedure for rotator cuff
repair that creates multiple channels in the greater tuberosity, through which bone marrow of …

Background Bone marrow stimulation (BMS) has been considered a well-established
method for treating knee and ankle osteochondral lesions. Some studies have also shown …
