Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Biomechanical Analysis of Adipose-derived Stromal Vascular Fraction Applied on Rotator Cuff Repair in Rabbits

摘要

Background:Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (ADSVF) can be applied to repair tendon and ligament tears. ADSVF treatment has a better therapeutic potential than adipose stem cells alone in promoting the healing of connective tissue injury in rabbit models. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biomechanical testing were used in this study to evaluate the efficiency of SVF in the healing of tendon-bone interface of a rotator cuff injury after reattachment.
