Epidemiology of the rotator cuff tears: a new incidence related to thyroid disease / F. Oliva, L. Osti, J. Padulo, N. Maffulli. - In: M.L.T.J. MUSCLES, LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS JOURNAL. - ISSN 2240-4554. - 4:3(2014 Jul), pp. 309-314. [10.11138/mltj/2014.4.3.309]
Abstract:
in the last years the incidence of rotator cuff tears increased and one main cause still waiting to be clarified. Receptors for thyroid hormones in rotator cuff tendons suggest possible effects on tendons metabolism and status. We undertook a retrospective, observational cohort study of 441 patients who underwent arthroscopic and mini-open repair for non traumatic degenerative rotator cuff tears.
