Abstract: | Rotator cuff repair is a common orthopedic procedure. Despite advances in surgical technique, the rotator cuff tendons often
fail to heal after surgery. In recent years, a number of biologic strategies have been developed and tested to augment healing
after rotator cuff repair. These strategies include allograft, extracellular matrices (ECMs), platelet rich plasma (PRP),
growth factors, stem cells, and gene therapy. This chapter reviews the most current research on biologic augmentation of rotator
cuff repair using these methods. |
