The Independent Effect of Nerve Injury and Tendon Injury on Rotator Cuff Fatty Infiltration
This study supports the notion that subclinical neurological injury is not required for FI and fibrosis to occur. Differences in the pattern of FI were noted in the setting of tenotomy and neurotomy; this knowledge should influence future experimental design when translational animal models for rotator cuff injury are utilized.
