This is a complex topic that involves novel treatment strategies, including patches/scaffolds, small molecule-based, cellular-based, and tissue-derived augmentation techniques.

Treatment of rotator cuff tears is individualized based on the age, demands, and symptoms of the patient. Nonoperative treatment may often be effective, especially in lower-demand or elderly patients. Surgical repair is indicated after failure of nonoperative treatment or in patients whose high-demand lifestyle requires full strength and function of the shoulder. In older patients, larger tears are less likely to heal and rotator cuff repair may not reliable. In cases of failed previous rotator cuff repair, there may not be enough viable tissue for complete repair. If there is underlying arthritis, a rotator cuff repair is unlikely to resolve all symptoms, and treatment to care for the arthritis and rotator cuff tear is indicated. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty provides the surgical answer for these scenarios and is now being used for numerous indications of shoulder pathology.","PeriodicalId":49481,"journal":{"name":"Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review","volume":"174 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140828719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been previously identified that there is a higher incidence of apoptosis in the edges of the torn supraspinatus tendon. A prospective cohort study was conducted with 28 patients-14 rotator cuff tear patients, 5 instability patients, and 9 Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients to determine whether there was any increase in several genes implicated in apoptosis, including Fas receptor (FasR), Fas ligand, Aifm-1, Bcl-2, Fadd, Bax, and caspase-3. There was a significant expression of Bax (P=0.2) and FasR (P=0.005) in the edges of torn supraspinatus tendons, and in intact subscapularis tendons, there was a significant expression of caspase-3 (P=0.02) compared with samples from the torn supraspinatus tendon (P=0.04). The cytochrome c pathway, with its subsequent activation of caspase-3, as well as the TRAIL-receptor signaling pathway involving FasR have both been implicated. The elevated expression of Bax supported the model that the Bax to Bcl-2 expression ratio represents a cell death switch. The elevated expression of Bax in the intact subscapularis tissue from rotator cuff tear patients also may confirm that tendinopathy is an ongoing molecular process.","PeriodicalId":49481,"journal":{"name":"Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140828578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
