Abstract:
For rotator cuff tear surgery, application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising new option. Among various MSC sources, synovial tissue contains a high number of MSCs with high chondrogenic potential. Because chondrogenic formation is an important factor in enthesis healing in rotator cuff repair, synovial MSCs derived from the subacromial bursa are superior candidates for the augmentation of rotator cuff tear surgery.
