PURPOSE: Biological matrices have been used to reinforce large rotator cuff tear repairs. However, rapid resorption and initial immune reactions presented challenges in clinical practice. This study evaluates whether a resorbable synthetic matrix (scaffold), used alone or with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), impacts repair processes at microscopic, ultrasound, and biomechanical levels in a rabbit model of induced tendon-bone interface injury.
METHODS: An experimental study was performed on 24 rabbits. Two experimental groups (n = 12 each) and a control group (n = 24) were defined. In the first group (BioP), the internal gastrocnemius tendon was sectioned and repaired to bone using double-row sutures, reinforced with a PLC (poly-L-lactic-co-ε-caprolactone) and PLA (polylactic acid) scaffold. In the second group (BioP + PRP), autologous PRP was added to the repair. The control group received no scaffold or PRP. Euthanasia was performed at 8 weeks, followed by microscopic, ultrasound, and biomechanical evaluations.
RESULTS: Microscopically, a granulomatous reaction limited to the foreign body was observed in both scaffold groups. The healing process was not altered in any group, showing good biocompatibility of the scaffold. Echographically, a greater sagittal diameter was observed in the group without PRP compared to the other groups. Biomechanically, no significant differences in rupture zones were found across groups, but the scaffold-only group required a higher maximum applied force before rupture.
CONCLUSIONS: At 8 weeks, using a degradable synthetic PLC and PLA scaffold as support at the bone-tendon interface did not significantly alter the normal repair process, showed echographic and biomechanical benefits, and PRP did not show additional benefits in our experimental model.
