| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the positive effect on rotator cuff repair by the combination of gelatin hydrogel sheet (GHS) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7). Rotator cuff repair was promoted by the controlled release of BMP-7 using GHS on the tendon-to-bone insertion. BMP-7 has already been used clinically and is very safe. This method will bring about shortening of rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair and it is possible that this method is valuable clinically.
