| Modern torn rotator cuff treatments are underway |
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and it is
always prone to wear and tear. The stress placed on the shoulder is always
sustained by a group of muscles protecting the shoulder joint called the
rotator cuff muscles. An adequate torn rotator cuff treatment is required in
order to relieve yourself effectively from the discomforts and pain resulting
from a rotator cuff injury.
Because shoulder injury is a common cause of health
concerns among the elderly, athletes and laborers that can significantly result
to degeneration and disability, efforts were made in order to improve the torn
rotator cuff treatment. Although the surgical approach is reserved only as the
last recourse of treatment for a torn rotator cuff, a more advanced joint
replacement study is underway that aims to relieve pathological conditions of
the shoulder including a severe torn rotator cuff muscles. The focus of the
study is to address the challenge of poor tendon healing and regeneration. It
was reported that among the possible treatments to become available are modern
modalities consisting of biologic and tissue engineering that will optimally
improve the debilitating condition of a severe torn rotator cuff muscle.

Another
promising treatment for a torn rotator cuff is the use of modern stem cell technologies at the center for regenerative
medicine. Studies show a significant increase of shoulder injuries among
younger individuals that could eventually lead to muscle weakness, atrophy (thinning
of the muscle mass) and crepitus (a crackling sound along the shoulder joint. The
center for regenerative medicine in Florida aims to apply the efficacy of
modern stem cell treatment in enhancing tissue regeneration among the sufferers
of should injury and help them get back to their normal activities of daily
living.
