Abstract

Purpose: Rotator cuff disease is the most common shoulder disease. Rotator cuff tear, which is related to cuff tendon degeneration, is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: Knowledge about the biology of the normal rotator cuff is fundamental to understanding the pathophysiology of and degenerative processes in rotator cuff tendon tears. Furthermore, such basic knowledge provides a rationale for and facilitates the development of treatment modalities. Results and Conclusion: Therefore, we reviewed the biology of the normal rotator cuff tendon, theories to explain the pathophysiology of rotator cuff tendon tear, and current research on apoptosis of rotator cuff tenofibroblasts.

목적: 회전근 개의 질환은 견관절 질환 중 가장 흔하며, 퇴행성 변화와 관련한 회전근 개 파열은 임상에서 가장 흔히 경험하는 질환이다. 대상 및 방법: 회전근 개의 정상적인 생물학적 특성을 이해하는 것은 회전근 개의 퇴행성 변화를 이해하고, 병태생리를 이해하는 것에 도움이 되며 나아가서 새로운 치료방법이나 예방법을 발전시키는 기초 지식으로 중요하다 하겠다. 결과 및 결론: 이에 저자들은 회전근 개의 생물학적 정상소견과, 회전근 개 파열의 병리를 설명하는 이론에 대한 문헌 고찰과 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 회전근 개 건섬유모세포의 세포자멸 기전등에 관한 문헌고찰 내용을 보고하고자 한다.
