“…Surgical repair of rotator cuff tendons can be executed through either open surgery or arthroscopic-assisted procedures [ 59 , 60 ]. In cases of full-thickness tears, arthroscopy or mini-surgery employing a single-row technique proves effective in rotator cuff repair.…”

The rotator cuff is a crucial group of muscles and tendons in the shoulder complex that plays a significant role in the stabilization of the glenohumeral joint and enabling a wide range of motion. Rotator cuff tendon tears can occur due to sudden injuries or degenerative processes that develop gradually over time, whether they are partial or full thickness. These injuries are common causes of shoulder pain and functional impairment, and their complex nature highlights the essential role of the rotator cuff in shoulder function. Scar formation is a crucial aspect of the healing process initiated following a rotator cuff tendon tear, but excessive fibrous tissue development can potentially lead to stiffness, discomfort, and movement limitations. Age is a critical risk factor, with the prevalence of these tears increasing among older individuals. This comprehensive review aims to delve deeper into the anatomy and injury mechanisms of the rotator cuff. Furthermore, it will inspect the signaling pathways involved in fibrous tissue development, evaluate the various factors affecting the healing environment, and discuss proactive measures aimed at reducing excessive fibrous tissue formation. Lastly, this review identifed gaps within existing knowledge to advance methods for better management of rotator cuff tendon injuries.

“…The glenoid, and coordinated action with the deltoid muscle to make the upper limbs abduct, due to frequent activities and the intersection of shoulder muscle contraction force, it is easy to damage. [ 3 , 4 ] At present, most conservative treatments are adopted in clinical treatment, including physical therapy, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local closed injections, etc. There is no significant difference between their therapeutic effectiveness and surgical treatment.…”

Rationale: The shoulder joint is the most movable joint of the human body, and the incidence of aseptic inflammation of the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint and acute and chronic muscle injuries is relatively high. Pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation technology is gradually being used in shoulder joint diseases. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a high-power platelet plasma solution obtained by centrifugation of autologous blood. Platelet cells contain many growth factors that promote tissue repair. Patient concerns: Shoulder soreness, limited movement of the shoulder joint, abduction of the upper limbs, and aggravation of pain during flat lifting. The pain radiates to the deltoid muscle stop and forearm. Interventions: In this study, radiofrequency pulses combined with PRP were used to treat supraspinatus muscle injury and explore new methods for the treatment of shoulder joint muscle and tendon injuries represented by supraspinatus muscle injury. Diagnosis: We reported 4 patients with supraspinatus injury who received radiofrequency pulse combined with PRP treatment in our hospital. Outcomes: After treatment, the patients were followed up at the first month, the third month, and the sixth month, and the Constant–Murley shoulder score and visual analog scale were used to comprehensively evaluate the postoperative improvement of the patients. There was no significant increase in postoperative pain, the Constant–Murley shoulder Score was significantly increased, the range of movement of the shoulder joint was significantly improved, and there were no postoperative complications. Lessons: The combined application of the 2 treatments can make full use of the analgesic effect of pulsed radiofrequency technology and the repairing effect of PRP, and can maximize the advantages of the 2 more advanced treatment methods in the field of minimally invasive.
