Effect of Decellularized Amniotic Membrane on the Tendon–Bone Integration in Rotator Cuff Repair: A Comparative Rat Model Study
When placed between tendon and bone at the rotator cuff footprint, DAM, despite its dense and thick basement layer, does not impede tendon-bone healing after surgical repair for rotator cuff injury, but rather promotes increased healing quality and biomechanical properties. However, the healing quality and biomechanical properties are still lower than that of the normal rotator cuff, and further improvement should be made to the application strategy of a DAM.
