Objective: To investigate the effect of adipose-derived cells (ADCs) on tendon-bone healing in a rat model of chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) with suprascapular nerve (SN) injury.
Methods: Adult rats underwent right shoulder surgery whereby the supraspinatus was detached, and SN injury was induced. ADCs were cultured from the animals' abdominal fat. At 6 weeks post-surgery, the animals underwent surgical tendon repair; the ADC (+ve) group (n = 18) received an ADC injection, and the ADC (-ve) group (n = 18) received a saline injection. Shoulders were harvested at 10, 14, and 18 weeks and underwent histological, fluorescent, and biomechanical analyses.
Results: In the ADC (+ve) group, a firm enthesis, including dense mature fibrocartilage and well-aligned cells, were observed in the bone-tendon junction and fatty infiltration was less than in the ADC (-ve) group. Mean maximum stress and linear stiffness was greater in the ADC (+ve) compared with the ADC (-ve) group at 18 weeks.
Conclusion: ADC supplementation showed a positive effect on tendon-bone healing in a rat model of chronic RCT with accompanying SN injury. Therefore, ADC injection may possibly accelerate recovery in massive RCT injuries.

Background: Failure after rotator cuff repair is typically due to a loss of integrity of the bone-tendon interface. The BioWick anchor (Zimmer-Biomet) is an interpositional scaffold-anchor that was developed to improve tendon-bone healing. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of this novel anchor compared with a standard anchor with respect to retear rates and patient outcomes.

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.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and subsequent surgical reconstruction are exceedingly common orthopaedic procedures. Surgical technique and graft preparation techniques continue to evolve as surgeons seek to increase surgical outcomes and decrease recovery time. As such, there is significant interest in identifying tools and techniques that may enhance the surgical process for patients undergoing an ACL reconstruction.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the most common orthopaedic sports medicine surgeries. Its prevalence in the sports medicine sphere is matched by the numerous options of different techniques. Chief among these is graft selection, which most commonly falls into 1 of 4 options: bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft, hamstring tendon autograft (HT), quadriceps tendon autograft, and allografts.

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.
