Warning signs of a torn rotator cuff are typically felt in the shoulder area. Both partial rotator cuff tears and complete, full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) can make arm movements ...

Rotator cuff tears occur when the rotator cuff tendon pulls away from the humerus, the long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. Rotator cuff injuries range from tendinitis to ...

Background. The literature has shown good results with partial repairs of large and massive tears of rotator cuff but the role of factors that affect reparability is less clear. The purpose of ...

and tears were the most common pathological finding in all rotator cuff components accounting for 41 of the 61 cases (67%) of rotator cuff pathology. Partial thickness tears involving the ...

Background: This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR arthrography (MRA) for the articular-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tear (PTRCT).

The tear is commonly small (partial tear) but can be large to the point of rupture. Full-thickness rotator cuff tears in siblings are significantly more likely to progress over a period of five years ...

Partial thickness tears revealed significantly more satellite cells and proliferative activity than full-thickness tears. There was no detectable apoptosis using an antibody recognising active caspase ...

77 Any tear that involves rotator cuff disruption that does not extend all the way through the tendon is termed a 'partial-thickness tear' (PTT). PTTs are more prevalent that full-thickness tears.

The goal was to compare outcomes from the InSpace device to a partial repair for a rotator cuff tear. The studies were randomized and blinded. Patients who participated did not know for a year if they ...
