Preclinical comparison of novel rotator cuff repair scaffolds

Abstract:

Background: Rotator cuff tears affect up to 16% of the adult population, but inadequate treatment options are currently available. Our research group has developed a range of degradable scaffolds, manufactured from electrospinning and weaving, designed to assist the tendon repair both biologically and mechanically. The scaffolds have been successfully tested in vitro, however, to further assess the potential of these materials for clinical applications, an in vivo...
