Stem Cell Treatment for Regeneration of the Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are a common musculoskeletal condition, especially in the aging population. The prevalence of rotator cuff tears varies based on factors like age, occupation, and activity level. In the general population, the prevalence of rotator cuff tears is estimated to be around 20% to 25%. Rotator cuff tears (RCT) has an impact in patients pain level, shoulder function, sleep disturbance, and quality of life. Primary tendon surgery is in mostly cases necessary.

This study aimed to examine if treatment of rotator cuff lesions with implantation of micro-fragmented adipose tissue can improve patients reported pain and function compared to conventional surgery.
