Model: acute surgical supraspinatus tendon repair, rotator cuff repair model with implant at the tendon-to-bone interface, contralateral shoulder design
Porous titanium implants improved early biomechanical properties of tendon-to-bone healing versus standard repair, with increased elastic modulus, maximum load and maximum stress at 2 and 4 weeks and decreased cross-sectional area at 4 weeks, with no foreign body reaction and viable bone within the…
