Abstract:
Rotator cuff tear is a common disease that causes shoulder pain and limitation of activity. Rotator cuff repair with arthroscope has become the mainstream method with advance in surgical techniques. In spite of this, the highly rate of retear after surgery mainly because the tendon to bone interface form scar tissue rather than native tissue. Biomechanical of the interface is so poor to retear because of the change of Histological. In recent years, more and more researchers are devoted to the study of biology and biomechanical for improving the process of tendon to bone healing and restoring the original structure at the interface, This article reviews the research progress with four factors(inflammation, slow or limited bone ingrowth into the tendon graft, Mechanical stimulation, scant stem cell) and physiotherapy that affect tendon to bone healing.
