Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rotator cuff repair often fails. Growth factors, like platelet-rich plasma, show promise for improving tendon healing and reducing surgical failure rates in rotator cuff reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Rotator cuff (RC) lesions are common tendon injuries.
  • Despite surgical advancements, RC repair failure remains frequent.
  • Biological augmentation strategies are explored to enhance tendon reinsertion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on growth factor augmentation for RC reconstruction.
  • To discuss future therapeutic approaches for improving RC repair outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive PubMed database search up to 2011.
  • Keywords included: tendon, rotator cuff, augmentation, growth factor, platelet-rich fibrin, platelet-rich plasma.
  • Included English, German, French, and Spanish publications; excluded reviews, case reports, and letters.

Main Results:

  • Growth factors are investigated for their potential to improve rotator cuff healing.
  • Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin are key growth factor delivery systems.
  • Evidence suggests potential benefits for augmentation in RC reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Growth factor augmentation is a promising strategy to reduce rotator cuff repair failure.
  • Further research into in vitro and in vivo applications is warranted.
  • Future therapies may leverage growth factors for enhanced tendon biologics.
