Background: Ten to seventy percent of rotator cuff repairs form a recurrent defect after surgery. The relationship between retraction of the repaired tendon and formation of a recurrent defect is not well defined. Purpose/Hypotheses: To measure the prevalence, timing, and magnitude of tendon retraction after rotator cuff repair and correlate these outcomes with formation of a full-thickness recurrent tendon defect on magnetic resonance imaging, as well as clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that (1) tendon retraction is a common phenomenon, although not always associated with a recurrent defect

Abstract:
Background: The concept of dynamic anterior shoulder stabilization (DAS) combines a Bankart repair with the additional sling effect of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon to treat anterior glenohumeral instability. This surgical technique was created to close the gap between the indications for isolated Bankart repair and those requiring bone transfer techniques. Purpose: To biomechanically investigate the stabilizing effects of the DAS technique in comparison with the standard Bankart repair in different defect models. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twenty-four fresh

Abstract:
Objectives A new concept of dynamic anterior shoulder stabilization (DAS) combining Bankart repair with the additional sling effect of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon to treat anterior glenohumeral instability has recently been introduced. The purpose of this study was to biomechanically investigate the stabilizing effect of the DAS technique in comparison to standard Bankart repair in different defect models. Methods Twenty-four fresh frozen cadaver shoulders (average ± SD: age 60.1 ± 8.6 years) were mounted in a shoulder-testing system allowing 6 degrees of freedom. According to cro

Abstract:
In the Drosophila embryo, the correct association of muscles with their specific tendon cells is achieved through reciprocal interactions between these two distinct cell types. Tendon cell differentiation is initiated by activation of the EGF-receptor signaling pathway within these cells by Vein, a neuregulin-like factor secreted by the approaching myotube. Here, we describe the cloning and the molecular and genetic analyses of kakapo, a Drosophila gene, expressed in the tendons, that is essential for muscle-dependent tendon cell differentiation. Kakapo is a large intracellular protein and con

Abstract:
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is a common cause of limitations in daily life activities in young and/or active people. The patellar tendon consists of a complex of collagen fibers; therefore, collagen could be used as a scaffold in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. Purpose: To evaluate the healing capacity of injected atelocollagen as a treatment scaffold for patellar tendon defect and, hence, its potential for the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: After receiving a full-thickness patellar tendon defect, 24 New Zealand White rabbi

ABSTRACT Primary infection of tendo-achilles (TA) is quite uncommon. Here, we are presenting an interesting case of a 42-year-old farmer who developed TA infection following thorn prick injury (3-month-old injury). He presented to us with discharging sinus on posterior aspect of heel. On subsequent debridement, he had 17 cm tendon defect, which was treated with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon and reinforced with free gracillis flap from opposite thigh. However, to the best of our knowledge, combined use of FHL and gracillis tendon has so far not reported. How to cite this article Simon R,

This study is a review of 127 hands in 100 patients in whom one or two FDS tendons were used to correct claw-hand deformity and/or loss of opposition of the thumb. In lumbrical replacement the results were graded as excellent in 16 hands (21%) and good in 43 hands (57%). For opponensplasty the results were excellent in 26 hands (32%) and good in 42 hands (51%). Possible defects that can develop in the donor finger are: swan-neck deformity, flexion posture of the DIP joint, not as part of the swan-neck deformity, check-rein deformity or flexion contracture, and insufficient finger flexion.

Abstract:
Background: Although survival of transplanted stem cells in vivo and differentiation of stem cells into tenocytes in vitro have been reported, there have been no in vivo studies demonstrating that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could secrete their own proteins as differentiated tenogenic cells. Purpose/Hypothesis: Using a xenogeneic MSC transplantation model, we aimed to investigate whether MSCs could differentiate into the tenogenic lineage and secrete their own proteins. The hypothesis was that human MSCs would differentiate into the human tenogenic lineage and the cells would be able to secr

Changes can occur in the peroneus brevis tendon following ankle injuries or sprains. A series of 14 tendon lesions is reported in the ankles of 13 patients. The duration of symptoms ranged from 8 months to 20 years. The predominant symptom in 12 ankles was lateral pain. In 11 ankles, lateral ankle instability was treated by a reconstruction with the split peroneus brevis graft, and in one ankle, by direct repair. The defects were found during harvest of the graft.

He had a large combined defect involving skin, tendons and bone. A complex reconstruction was performed using a large iliac crest allograft, a tendon graft and a free serratus anterior flap in one stage, 8 hours after the injury. A skin graft was performed later. 2 years later the functional and aesthetic result are good.
