Core Tip

Core Tip: Animal models are crucial tools for studying rotator cuff healing. Different models, including rodent, rabbit, and large-animal models, offer distinct advantages, such as cost-effectiveness, ease of genetic manipulation, or anatomical similarity. However, they also have limitations like anatomical disparities and high costs. These models help in understanding the repair mechanisms and evaluating new treatments. Second-look arthroscopic studies support the effectiveness of current surgical procedures, and future research using animal models can focus on the local microenvironment of the rotator cuff to enhance healing.
