Intrinsic healing capacity and tearing process of torn supraspinatus tendons: <i>In situ</i> hybridization study of α1(I) procollagen mRNA
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
To determine the healing potential and healing process of torn supraspinatus tendons, in situ hybridization was used to localize cells containing alpha 1 type-I procollagen mRNA. Biopsy specimens of torn supraspinatus tendons from 19 patients with complete-thickness tears and 13 patients with incomplete-thickness tears were obtained during surgery. Four macroscopically normal supraspinatus tendons were obtained...
