Article Abstract
Background: Poor healing of the tendon-bone interface after rotator cuff repair is one of the main causes of surgical failure. Previous studies demonstrated that demineralized cortical bone (DCB) could improve healing of the enthesis.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of hierarchically demineralized cortical bone (hDCB) coated with stem cell-derived extracellular matrix (hDCB-ECM) in the repair of the rotator cuff in a rabbit model.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Methods: Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) were isolated, cultured, and identified. Then, hDCB was prepared by the graded demineralization procedure. Finally, hDCB-ECM was fabricated via 2-week cell culture and decellularization, and the morphologic features and biochemical compositions of the hDCB-ECM were evaluated. A total of 24 rabbits (48 samples) were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, DCB, hDCB, and hDCB-ECM. All rabbits underwent bilateral detachment of the infraspinatus tendon, and the tendon-bone interface was repaired with or without scaffolds. After surgery, 8 rabbits were assessed by immunofluorescence staining at 2 weeks, and the others were assessed by micro-computed tomography (CT) examination, immunohistochemical staining, histological staining, and biomechanical testing at 12 weeks.
Results: TDSCs were identified to have universal stem cell characteristics including cell markers, clonogenicity, and multilineage differentiation. The hDCB-ECM contained 3 components (bone, partial DCB, and DCB coated with ECM) with a gradient of calcium and phosphorus elements, and the ECM had stromal cell-derived factor 1, biglycan, and fibromodulin. Macroscopic observations demonstrated the absence of infection and rupture around the enthesis. The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that hDCB-ECM promoted stromal cell recruitment. Results of micro-CT analysis, immunohistochemical staining, and histological staining showed that hDCB-ECM enhanced bone and fibrocartilage formation at the tendon-bone interface. Biomechanical analysis showed that the hDCB-ECM group had higher ultimate tensile stress and Young modulus than the DCB group.
Conclusion: The administration of hDCB-ECM promoted healing of the tendon-bone interface.
Clinical Relevance: hDCB-ECM could provide useful information for the design of scaffolds to repair the tendon-bone interface, and further studies are needed to determine its effectiveness.

Double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has biomechanical advantages over single-bundle reconstruction. However, most studies perform the DB reconstruction with 2 femoral tunnels, which fails to provide an entire femoral footprint for ACL reconstruction. In this study, we describe a femoral double-bundle footprint technique for ACL reconstruction, named the tendon groove technique.

Purpose: To explore the potential of growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) for tendon-bone healing in a rat rotator cuff tear (RCT) model.
Methods: The impact of GHRP-2 on M1 macrophage polarization in vitro was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. GHRP-2 was then applied in a rat RCT model, and the healing of tendon-bone interface was systemically evaluated by histological staining, radiological assessments, gait analysis, and biomechanical tests.

Purpose: The stability of the graft in the bony tunnels is of utmost importance in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) since it ensures safe healing at the tendon-bone interface. The hypothesis was that when a double tibial fixation was used in ACLR with a short graft of autologous hamstrings, tibial tunnel bone re-growth and better graft integration would be observed at short-term follow-up.
Methods: The analysis included a cohort of 112 patients after a primary ACLR with hamstring tendons who underwent postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 3.

The interface between soft and hard tissues is constituted by a gradient change of cell types and matrix compositions that are optimally designed for proper load transmission and injury protection. In the musculoskeletal system, the soft-hard tissue interfaces at tendon-bone, ligament-bone, and meniscus-bone have been extensively researched as regenerative targets. Similarly, extensive research efforts have been made to guide the regeneration of multi-tissue complexes in periodontium.

The healing of tendon-bone contact surfaces involves complex biomechanical and biochemical interactions, with pivotal implications for sports medicine and rehabilitation. This review explores applications from cellular mechanics to tissue engineering, emphasizing how biomechanics impact tendon-bone healing. Cells regulate behavior, including growth, differentiation, and migration, by sensing mechanical signals and translating them into biochemical responses, which are critical in the healing process.
