A novel After ACL reconstruction, recruited cells from surrounding tissues play crucial roles in ligamentization to obtain adequate structural properties. To allow athletes to return sports activity sooner, these remodeling processes should be elucidated and be accelerated. However, in conventional animal models, it has been difficult to differentiate donor and recipient cells. Here we introduce the transgenic Kusabira-Orange pigs, in which cells produce fluorescence systemically, as Summary
Introduction
We measured scapulothoracic motions during humeral abduction with different humeral rotations in healthy subjects and whole cadaver models and clarified that humeral rotation significantly influenced scapular kinematics. Scapular dyskinesis has been observed in various shoulder disorders such as impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tears. However, the relationship between scapular kinematics and humeral positions remains unclear. We hypothesised that humeral rotation would influence scapular motions during humeral abduction and measured scapular motion relative to the thorax in the healthy subjects and whole cadavers.Summary Statement
