Repairability and clinical outcomes of full-thickness rotator cuff tears rely on tendon mobility, tissue quality, and subsequent tension on a repair. While repair of rotator cuff tears tend to yield excellent clinical results, poor tissue quality has been an important factor that has hampered successful outcomes. This Technical Note describes a double-row rotator cuff repair using a SpeedBridge configuration with dermal allograft "canopy" augmentation to bolster the repairable but thinned rotator cuff tissue. This technique employs a unique graft fixation strategy to simplify the procedure. This approach could provide surgeons with a great option when faced with mobile but thinned rotator cuff tissue.

Objectives: Rotator cuff tendinitis (RCT) is a tendon inflammation often following subacromial impingement syndrome. One of the non-surgical management modalities for RCT is subacromial injection of corticosteroids. Some studies have claimed a correlation between ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) deficiency and rotator cuff lesions; hence, intramuscular ACTH analogue injection has been recommended as an option.

The shoulder joint complex is prone to musculoskeletal issues, such as rotator cuff-related pain, which affect two-thirds of adults and often result in suboptimal treatment outcomes. Current musculoskeletal models used to understand shoulder biomechanics are limited by challenges in personalization, inaccuracies in predicting joint and muscle loads, and an inability to simulate anatomically accurate motions. To address these deficiencies, we developed a novel, personalized modeling framework capable of calibrating subject-specific joint centers and functional axes for the shoulder complex.

Background: The Simple Shoulder Test (SST) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure for shoulder function. However, there is currently no version of the SST for the Thai population.
Purpose: To cross-culturally adapt and evaluate the reliability and validity of a Thai version of the SST (Thai SST) for patients with shoulder pathologies, using the Thai version of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score as a comparison tool.

Muscle degeneration is a common issue caused by rotator cuff tear (RCT) which significantly affects prognosis. Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) play a crucial role to prevent muscle degeneration after RCT. However, the pathological changes and detailed molecular mechanism underlying the myogenesis of MuSCs after RCT remain incomplete.
