BIOPSY RESULTS OF DEGENERATIVE ROTATOR CUFF



Abstract

The pathogenesis of rotator cuff degeneration is important in determining the management and prognosis.

During surgery, the pathological area was excised and sent for histological examination. This paper describes the histological features of 229 biopsies taken from patients with various stages of rotator cuff pathology.

Clarification of the pathology can assist in determining the nature of any additional procedure to be performed.
