BIOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR. FROM THE LAB TO THE PATIENT
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
Shoulder pain is the second most frequent reason for patients’ musculoskeletal com- plaints, the most common cause of pain be- ing rotator cuff tendon tear (Matsen 2008). Although conservative treatment is widely suggested in the initial period of disease, the surgical treatment is basic. This proce- dure commonly involves restoration of the continuity of the tendon to the bone. The development of arthroscopic surgery and implant technology allows for a minimally invasive stabilization of the tendon attach- ment to the bone. In the course of the de- velopment of the techniques for rotator cuff (RC) tendon repair both biomechani- cal and biological aspects have been high- lighted (Gerber et al. 1994; Apreleva et al. 2002). However, despite the improvement in tendon fixation methods, the problem of healing tendon disorders still remains cru- cial and unresolved. The goal of study is outlining the possible use of growth factors, scaffolds and stem cells therapy during ro- tator cuff repair, which might be instrumen- tal in improving tendon-to-bone healing.
