Additional information
This study shows that demineralized bone matrix (DBM) enhances tendon bone healing and functional recovery in an animal model. Tendon reattachment to bone following rotator cuff repair is a challenging clinical problem and the prevalence of partial and thickness tears is 18.45% and 11.75% of the population respectively. Rotator cuff repair has failure rates of between 20 and 65%. Following this paper DBM has been used in human patients where the repair appears to be enhanced. The use of DMB as illustrated in this paper may reduce the high failure rates associated with rotator cuff repair clinically.
