Effect of tear size, corticosteroids and subacromial decompression surgery on the hierarchical structural properties of torn supraspinatus tendons.
Bottom Line:
The effects of disease progression and common tendinopathy treatments on the tissue characteristics of human rotator cuff tendons have not previously been evaluated in detail owing to a lack of suitable sampling techniques.Further work is required to establish the long-term abilities of SCI and SAD to prevent, and even reverse, such degeneration.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2014;3:252-61.
