Glycosaminoglycans of human rotator cuff tendons: changes with age and in chronic rotator cuff tendinitis.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the glycosaminoglycans of the adult human rotator cuff tendon matrix, to characterise changes in the glycosaminoglycan composition with age and in chronic rotator cuff tendinitis. METHODS Rotator cuff (supraspinatus) tendons (n = 84) and common biceps tendons (n = 26) were obtained from cadavers with no history of tendon pathology (age range 11-95 years). Biopsies of rot...
متن کاملTendon degeneration and chronic shoulder pain: changes in the collagen composition of the human rotator cuff tendons in rotator cuff tendinitis.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the collagen composition of normal adult human supraspinatus tendon and to compare with: (1) a flexor tendon (the common biceps tendon) which is rarely involved in any degenerative pathology; (2) degenerate tendons from patients with chronic rotator cuff tendinitis. METHODS Total collagen content, collagen solubility and collagen type were investigated by hydroxyproline ...
متن کاملLysylhydroxylation and non-reducible crosslinking of human supraspinatus tendon collagen: changes with age and in chronic rotator cuff tendinitis.
OBJECTIVES To investigate age related and site specific variations in turnover and chemistry of the collagen network in healthy tendons as well as the role of collagen remodelling in the degeneration of the supraspinatus tendon (ST-D) in rotator cuff tendinitis. METHODS Collagen content and the amount of hydroxylysine (Hyl), hydroxy-lysylpyridinoline (HP), lysylpyridinoline (LP), and the degr...
متن کاملCalcifying Tendinitis of the Rotator Cuff: Diagnosis, Treatment and Complications
Background Calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder is a disorder characterised by either single or multiple deposits in the rotator cuff (RC) tendon. Most of calcifications undergo spontaneous resorption while a subpopulation of patients continue to complain for pain and shoulder dysfunction and the deposits do not show any signs of resolution. Although several treatment options have been propose...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Rotator Cuff Repairs Revised to Shoulder Arthroplasty
Background: Successful repair of a torn rotator cuff may prevent progression to rotator cuff arthropathy. However,previous studies have shown a substantial rate of failure after rotator cuff repair and characteristics of surgicallyrepaired rotator cuffs that go on to shoulder arthroplasty have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study wasto determine the patient cha...
