Abstract

Chronic rotator cuff tears cause fatty degeneration, which may profoundly affect the postoperative shoulder function and the longevity of the repair. Even though rotator cuff repair has been shown to decrease pain and to increase shoulder function, the failure rate for anatomical cuff healing is considerably high. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) on tendon healing and reversal of fatty degeneration in chronic rotator cuff tear model using rabbit subscapularis (SSC) muscle.
