Tendon disorders are common and lead to significant disability, pain, healthcare cost, and
lost productivity. A wide range of injury mechanisms exist leading to tendinopathy or tendon …

As dense connective tissues connecting bone to muscle and bone to bone, respectively,
tendon and ligament (T/L) arise from the somitic mesoderm, originating in a recently …

Injury and degeneration of tendon, the soft tissue that mechanically links muscle and bone,
can cause substantial pain and loss of function. This review discusses the composition and …

This is a consensus statement on rehabilitation developed by the American Society of
Shoulder and Elbow Therapists. The purpose of this statement is to aid clinical decision …

Connective tissues such as tendons or ligaments attach to bone across a multitissue
interface with spatial gradients in composition, structure, and mechanical properties. These …

Both acute and chronic tendinopathy result in high morbidity, requiring management that is
often lengthy and expensive. However, limited and conflicting scientific evidence …

Mechanical cues affect tendon healing, homeostasis, and development in a variety of
settings. Alterations in the mechanical environment are known to result in changes in the …

Background: The influence of rehabilitation on the outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff
repair remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical results and …

The attachment of dissimilar materials is a major challenge because of the high levels of
stress that develop at such interfaces. An effective solution to this problem develops at the …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of clinically significant
postoperative stiffness following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This study also sought to …
