Application of layered poly (L-lactic acid) cell free scaffold in a rabbit rotator cuff defect model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>This study evaluated the application of a layered cell free poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffold to regenerate an infraspinatus tendon defect in a rabbit model. We hypothesized that PLLA scaffold without cultivated cells would lead t...
