It is known that high levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may determine vessel wall damage. As it is also known that tendon tissue insertion to the greater tuberosity of the humerus normally receives a poor blood supply, especially with the arm in adducted position [1], some authors have hypothesized that hypercholesterolemia may be an additional risk factor for tissue degeneration and, consequently, for rotator cuff tear.

Abstract
It is known that high levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may determine vessel wall damage. As it is also known that tendon tissue insertion to the greater tuberosity of the humerus normally receives a poor blood supply, especially with the arm in adducted position [1], some authors have hypothesized that hypercholesterolemia may be an additional risk factor for tissue degeneration and, consequently, for rotator cuff tear.File allegati a questo prodotto
