Summary: Genetic factors may influence the age at diagnosis for atraumatic rotator cuff tear patients. Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with younger diagnosis age, but not with bilateral tear prevalence or tear size. Further research is needed to determine if genetic markers can be used alongside patient characteristics to identify optimal surgical repair candidates.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the surgical outcomes of 6 patients with massive IRCTs who underwent SCR using an Achilles tendon-bone allograft, showing improvement in clinical scores but a high graft failure rate of 83.3% confirmed by second-look arthroscopy surgery.

Summary: This study introduces a new tendon nano-construct for clinical repair of chronic rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Compared to traditional transosseous sutures and stem cell injections, this nano-construct shows significant enhancements in cell proliferation and differentiation, protein expression, and growth factor secretion.

Summary: This study evaluated the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic biceps-incorporating rotator cuff repair with partial release of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) and footprint medialization. The results showed satisfactory improvements in pain scores, shoulder function scores, and range of motion. The tendon integrity and acromio-humeral interval were also preserved.

Summary: In the cadaveric model of chronic posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tear, the combination of SCR and LTTT showed improved shoulder kinematics and contact pressures compared with SCR or LTTT alone.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of using human dermal allografts in the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears and found that it led to good results that were maintained at a mean of nine years postoperatively. The use of this treatment demonstrated significant improvement in clinical symptoms and function for patients.

Summary: Massive rotator cuff tears pose a challenging issue in terms of treatment and have a high rate of retear. Tendon transfers can be an effective solution, but complications can arise.

Summary: The study compared the clinical and radiographic results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) with biceps rerouting (BR) and conventional repair for semirigid, large-to-massive rotator cuff tear. It found that ARCR + BR had a significantly lower retear rate compared to conventional treatment, and identified partial tearing involving more than 50% of the long head of the biceps tendon and wide/thin tendon morphology as significant risk factors for postoperative retear.

Summary: Managing irreparable rotator cuff tears in active patients without severe osteoarthritis is challenging. Retracted tears of the superior cuff lead to detrimental glenohumeral kinematics and reduced shoulder function. Surgical options like superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) or tendon transfers may enhance shoulder function, but their effectiveness and superiority compared to partial rotator cuff repair remain uncertain.

Summary: Despite advances in understanding the native tendon enthesis, failure after rotator cuff repair still occurs. The impact of retraction on repair failure and the need to study it in depth are highlighted in this research article.

Summary: This study compared various surgical techniques for the treatment of large and massive irreparable rotator cuff tears and found that all techniques resulted in improved shoulder scores in the early follow-up period. However, there was a significant decline in shoulder scores at mid- to long-term follow-up for balloon spacers, arthroscopic debridement, and partial cuff repair. Additionally, partial cuff repair, graft interposition, and superior capsule reconstruction had high retear rates.

Summary: Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) for functionally irreparable rotator cuff tears (FIRCTs) is associated with a distinct complication profile, including graft retear, reoperation, and revision surgeries.

Summary: This study found that exosomes secreted by young BMSCs can promote the healing of tendon-bone interface after rotator cuff tears. These exosomes can improve extracellular matrix remodeling, osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and stemness of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs). The exosomes from young BMSCs have better effects compared to those from aged BMSCs.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) and latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. The results showed that at the final follow-up, SCR yielded better patient-reported outcomes (PROs) compared with LDTT, despite similar patient satisfaction and survivorship between the two procedures.

Summary: The study showed that using an Achilles tendon allograft for superior capsular reconstruction in irreparable massive rotator cuff tears can significantly improve functional and clinical outcomes. The allograft offers advantages such as short operation time, lack of donor site morbidity, sufficient thickness, and robustness, making it a useful graft option for SCR.
