The subacromial bursa has long been demolded as friction-reducing tissue, which is often
linked to shoulder pain and, therefore, partially removed during shoulder surgery. Currently …

Large and massive rotator cuff tears have the highest risk of retear. Common biologic
modalities that can potentially reduce the retear rate and improve healing include platelet …

Introduction The bursa subacromialis (BS) provides the gliding mechanism of the shoulder
and regenerates itself after surgical removal. Therefore, we explored the presence of …

The field of orthopedic surgery has seen a rapid increase in the use of various biologic
agents for the treatment of common musculoskeletal injuries. Most biologic agents attempt to …

Rotator cuff tears can be associated with significant shoulder dysfunction and pain. Despite
improved surgical techniques and new materials for rotator cuff reconstruction, there is no …

Failure of rotator cuff repair surgery can be attributed to a variety of factors, including
insufficient biologic environment to support healing. The subacromial bursal tissue has been …

So far, tendon regeneration has mainly been analyzed independent from its adjacent
tissues. However, the subacromial bursa in particular appears to influence the local …

Purpose To build upon previous literature to identify a complete analysis of cellular contents
of subacromial bursal tissue as well as the matrix surrounding the rotator cuff. Methods …

Purpose To evaluate the time required for colonies to develop from concentrated bone
marrow aspirate (cBMA) and subacromial bursal tissue samples. Methods Samples of cBMA …

ABSTRACT Purpose/Aim The purpose of this study is to identify a cell population within the
murine subcromial bursal-derived cells with characteristics compatible to an accepted …
