Rotator cuff degeneration and healing after rotator cuff repair
Clin Shoulder Elb.
2023 Sep.
Abstract
Rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury that compromises both function and quality of life. Despite the prevalence of the injury and advancements in repair techniques, a significant percentage of these repairs fail. This review aims to explore the multifactorial reasons behind this failure, including the degenerative nature of the rotator cuff tendon, inherent and extrinsic factors, and the role of hypoxia in tissue degeneration. Additionally, it elucidates potential strategies for improving healing outcomes.
Keywords: Degeneration; Treatment failure; Rotator cuff tear.
