Tensile and shear mechanical properties of rotator cuff repair patches.
BACKGROUND: Augmentation of rotator cuff tears aims to strengthen the repair and reduce rerupture, yet studies still report high failure rates. This study determines key mechanical properties of rotator cuff repair patches, including establishing values for toughness and measuring the shear propert...
