Patients with rotator cuff tears saw significant functional improvements and relief from pain through arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), according to research presented today at the American ...

Shoulder motion after rotator cuff surgery remains significantly different when compared to the patient's opposite shoulder, according to new study. In a study that updated prior findings, researchers ...

Performing arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs using bioabsorbable tacks significantly improves shoulder function and range of movement, a prospective study shows. Bioabsorbable tacks have been used for ...

Shoulder motion after rotator cuff surgery remains significantly different when compared to the patient's opposite shoulder, according to Henry Ford Hospital researchers. In the study, researchers ...

Tendon transfers for massive rotator cuff tears generally produce “disappointing” results despite surgeons’ expectations of improved function, according to an orthopedist who discussed shoulder ...

A rotator cuff tear can worsen over time. If treatment is delayed, a partial tear can progress to a full-thickness tear, and ...

The shoulder represents one of the most elaborate areas of the human body consisting of a ball and socket joint, which offers an extreme range of motion, but it is also commonly prone to dysfunction.

Four muscles and their tendons make up the rotator cuff; they smooth arm motion and stabilize the shoulder joint. The supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis aid the shoulder when ...

Q: I had an MRI that showed three of my four rotator cuff tendons have complete tears. I can only lift my right arm midway. I cannot comb my hair, and I’m right-handed. I cannot lift a glass or coffee ...

Engineers often use nature to inspire new materials and designs. A discovery by a multi-institutional team of researchers and engineers about how tendon and bone attach in the shoulder joint has ...

Shoulder motion after rotator cuff surgery remains significantly different when compared to the patient's opposite shoulder, according to researchers. In the study, researchers used X-rays providing a ...
