- The table below compares key parameters across the most-cited TB-500 rotator cuff studies to date.
- Deng et al. (2019)
- Rat (n=40)
- Full-thickness supraspinatus
- 500 mcg SC, 3×/week × 4 weeks
- Collagen I:III ratio, biomechanical strength
- +40% healing rate, +36% failure load
- Significant improvement in acute tears with early intervention
- Kim et al. (2020)
- Rat (n=36)
- Chronic tear (8-week delay)
- 500 mcg SC, 3×/week × 4 weeks post-delay
- Fatty infiltration, tensile strength
