BACKGROUND: Massive rotator cuff tears have a high rate of re-injury because of severe fatty infiltration. Our data showed that injuries proximal to the suprascapular nerve may be one cause of massive rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, using a rat model, how brachial plexus injury associated with a massive rotator cuff tear influences healing of the rotator cuff repair. METHODS: Seventy Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: rotator cuff tear with BP injury (DT group) (n = 28), rotator cuff tear without brachial plexus injury (T group) (n = 28), and a sham-operated group (n = 14). In the DT group, the rotator cuff tear was made and repaired 4 weeks after brachial plexus ligation. The gross assessment (evaluated the wet weight), biomechanical testing (evaluated the yield stress and the Young's modulus) and histological analyses (using the Bonar scale) were performed at baseline in the sham group, and at 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively in the DT and T groups (n = 7/group/time). RESULTS: Mean wet weight and yield stress were significantly lower in the DT group than in the T group. Additionally, the mean Young's modulus was significantly higher in the DT group than in the T group. Histologically, greater tendon degeneration was observed around the musculotendinous junction in the DT group than in the T group. CONCLUSION: The gross, biomechanical and histological data show that the repaired rotator cuff tendon with brachial plexus injury in rats does not heal as well as a repaired tendon without an accompanying brachial plexus injury. This suggests that more proximal neuropathy is one risk factor for re-tear of a repaired rotator cuff tendon.
