As per a new research conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an anabolic steroid treatment therapy has the potential to improve surgical repair of massive and recurrent tears of rotator cuff tendons.
These kinds of injuries are commonly associated with high performance athletes, bodybuilders, and collegiate including golf and tennis players.
The study was led by Dr. Spero Karas, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery in UNC’s School of Medicine. A bioengineered tendon was developed by Dr. Albert J. Banes, professor of orthopedics and biomedical engineering at UNC, which predominantly figured during this study.
