Özet

Objective: This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Dualmesh (R), Gore Medical, Flagstaff, AZ, USA), sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethyl cellulose (Seprafilm (R), Genzyme, Cambridge, MA, USA), and polysiloxane (silicone) as anti-adhesive barriers for inhibition of fibrosis in the subacromial area following rotator cuff repair.
