Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis of normal and torn rotator-cuff tendons.

We have used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to characterise the chemical and structural composition of the tendons of the rotator cuff and to identify structural differences among anatomically distinct tears. Such information may help to identify biomarkers of tears and to provide in...
