Objectives. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography is an emerging technique that can provide detailed anatomical information during surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ICG fluorescence angiography can be used to evaluate the blood flow of the rotator cuff tendon in the clinical setting. Methods. Twenty-six patients were evaluated from October 2016 to December 2017. The participants were categorized into three groups based on their diagnoses: the rotator cuff tear group; normal rotator cuff group; and
The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that cellular mechanisms of fibroblasts derived from primary frozen shoulder(PFS) exhibit similar activity in terms of contraction, response to cytokine (transforming growth factor-beta1) and mechanical stimulation similar to that generated by fibroblasts derived from dupuytren’s disease. PFS is a debilitating disease of unknown aetiology, characterised by fibrosis with contracture of the cora-cohumeral ligament, tissues of the rotator interval and glenohumeral ligaments, leading to restrictive shoulder movements.
