Can Your Own Fat Repair a Torn Rotator Cuff?
A look at my recent case report on using Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) to treat full-thickness supraspinatus tears without surgery.
Rotator cuff tears are among the most common injuries I see, often leading patients down a path of invasive surgery and long recovery times. However, emerging research suggests a powerful alternative lies within your own body.
In my recent publication, we explored the efficacy of Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT)—a technique where we harvest a small amount of your own fat, process it to preserve the regenerative structural niche, and inject it directly into the injured shoulder. The results showed not just pain reduction, but functional improvement in cases previously thought to require surgical repair.
