[Translated article] Efficacy of transplantation of lipoaspired mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of chronic rotator cuff tears. Experimental model in rats.

Background And Aim: Rotator cuff tears emerge in approximately 30% of the population over 60 years of age. Arthroscopic surgical treatment of these lesions is the treatment of choice, however, despite the improved repair techniques, the rate of re-tears ranges between 11 and 94%. Therefore, researchers seek to improve the biological healing process through the use of different alternatives such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
