Background: Rotator cuff tendons heal to bone with interposed scar tissue, which makes repairs prone to failure. The purpose of this study was to determine if the application of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can improve rotator cuff healing after repair. Hypothesis: Application of MSCs to the repair site will result in superior results compared with controls on histologic and biomechanical testing. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Ninety-eight Lewis rats underwent unilateral detachment and repair of the supraspinatus tendon; 10 rats were used for MSC harvest. Eight animals were used for cell tracking with Ad-LacZ. The remaining animals received either 106 MSCs in a fibrin carrier, the carrier alone, or nothing at the repair site. Animals were sacrificed at 2 and 4 weeks for histologic analysis to determine the amount of fibrocartilage formation and the collagen organization at the insertion. Biomechanical testing was also performed. Results: Specimens treated with Ad-LacZ-transduced MSCs exhibited more beta-galactosidase activity at the repair site compared with controls at both 2 and 4 weeks, although activity at 4 weeks was less than that at 2 weeks. There were no differences in the amount of new cartilage formation or collagen fiber organization between groups at either time point. There were also no differences in the biomechanical strength of the repairs, the cross-sectional area, peak stress to failure, or stiffness. Conclusion: The addition of MSCs to the healing rotator cuff insertion site did not improve the structure, composition, or strength of the healing tendon attachment site despite evidence that they are present and metabolically active.
