Abstract
The reconstruction of a tendon-bone interface, as in rotator-cuff repairs, remains a challenging surgical problem. There is however, little data to show what effect joint position or repair loading under physiological conditions have on the repaired tendon-bone interface. A change in the amount of contact area or load at the tendon-bone interface may influence healing. In this study we investigated the effect of limb position and boundary conditions on the tendon-bone interface in an in vitro rabbit tendon-bone repair model using both unlinked and linked suture repairs.
