Key result
Acute rotator cuff tendon repair in a sheep model resulted in significantly increased adipocytes, muscle fatty infiltration, and collagen deposition compared to the control group.
Why the study?
Does acute rotator cuff repair prevent muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in a sheep model?
Does acute rotator cuff repair prevent muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in a sheep model?
In a sheep model, acute rotator cuff repair does not prevent muscle degradation changes including fatty infiltration and fibrosis.
Questions efficacy of acute repair for preventing fatty infiltration in sheep; leaves open translation to human rotator cuff timing.
Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration after an acute rotator cuff repair in a sheep model tration, and fibrosis related genes.Significantly increased adipocytes, muscle fatty infiltration, and collagen deposition was observed in rotator cuff muscles in the tendon repair group compared to the control group.Conclusions: rotator cuff muscle undergoes degradation changes including fatty infiltration and fibrosis even after the tendons are repair immediately after rupture.

Luan et al. (2019) studied Acute rotator cuff rupture. Tendon repair immediately after rupture vs. Control group was evaluated on Adipocytes, muscle fatty infiltration, and collagen deposition. Acute rotator cuff tendon repair in a sheep model resulted in significantly increased adipocytes, muscle fatty infiltration, and collagen deposition compared to the control group.
