Tears of the rotator cuff (RC) complicated by bone cysts at the footprint might represent a challenge for the shoulder surgeon. This might be additionally aggravated in elderly patients with inferior bone quality due to osteopenia or osteoporosis. In this report we present a technique for open repair of RC tears by augmenting the cystic lesion at the greater tuberosity using bone void filler in combination with a double row anchor reconstruction technique. Despite disadvantageous position and size of the cyst, using this technique the footprint can be restored by obtaining an anatomical position of the supraspinatus tendon. The application range of this technique is not limited to defined bony defects and presents a promising novel surgical approach. Level of evidence V.

Introduction: Exercise-based physiotherapy is an established treatment of rotator cuff injury. Objective assessment of at-home exercise is critical to understand its relationship with clinical outcomes. This study uses the Smart Physiotherapy Activity Recognition System to measure at-home physiotherapy participation in patients with rotator cuff injury based on inertial sensor data captured from smart watches.

The globally prevalent rotator cuff tear has a high re-rupture rate, attributing to the failure to reproduce the interfacial fibrocartilaginous enthesis. Herein, a hierarchically organized membrane is developed that mimics the heterogeneous anatomy and properties of the natural enthesis and finely facilitates the reconstruction of tendon-bone interface. A biphasic membrane consisting of a microporous layer and a mineralized fibrous layer is constructed through the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) strategy followed by a co-axial electrospinning procedure.

Ultrasound imaging is vital for musculoskeletal assessment due to its real-time, high-resolution capabilities and safety. While protocols exist for rotator cuff evaluation, comprehensive guidelines for imaging the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles are lacking. This article fills this gap by presenting a detailed ultrasound protocol for these muscles, essential for shoulder stability and movement in overhead athletes.

Rotator cuff tendon injuries often lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction. Traditional treatments such as surgery and physical therapy can provide temporary relief, but it is difficult to achieve complete healing of the tendon, mainly because of the limited repair capacity of the tendon cells. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore new treatment methods.
