Abstract
The reconstruction of a tendon–bone interface, as in rotator-cuff repairs, remains a challenging surgical problem. There is however, little data to show what effect joint position or repair loading under physiological conditions have on the repaired tendon–bone interface. A change in the amount of contact area or load at the tendon–bone interface may influence healing. In this study we investigated the effect of limb position and boundary conditions on the tendon–bone interface in an in vitro rabbit tendon–bone repair model using both unlinked and linked suture repairs.
