  Author(s): Mladen Miskulin, Josip Savic*, Andrej Radic and Prim O Dulic
  
  Background: Rotator cuff tears can be associated with significant shoulder dysfunction and pain. Despite improved surgical techniques and new methods for the rotator cuff reconstruction, there are still problems connected to the coverage of the humeral head caused by the tendon insufficiency due to degeneration or retraction and late/or inadequate tendon-to-bone healing. For that reason, innovative approaches for enhanced tendon healing are required. The potential of the biological treatment enchasing tendon healing has not been sufficiently explored so far. Biological augmentation may be an option to improve the healing process. One of the possibilities for augmentation is the subacromial bursa, easily accessible tissue during rotator cuff repair, highly proliferative rich in mesenchymal stem cells that are capable of differentiating into various ce..
