Consensus Statements on Augmentation of Tendon-to-Bone Healing

No.	Statement
1	The stem cells and growth factors involved in tissue healing after injury and repair of tendon to bone should be identified.
2	Animal models of tendon-bone injury that attempt to mimic the biology of chronic tendon pathology in humans should be developed.
3	The optimal rehabilitation protocol for patients who have undergone repair of tendon-bone injury should be established.
4	A combination of stem cells and growth factors is likely necessary to improve healing of rotator cuff tears.
5	Improved imaging methods are needed to support correlation with subjective and functional outcome measures.
