Biological augmentation strategies in rotator cuff repair
Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are a common problem encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. The incidence of re-tears (up to 94%) following surgical repair of RCTs renders the management of RCTs challenging. This higher re-tear rate has been attributed to the failure of healing at the tendon-bone junction. Biological augmentation methods such as growth fact...
