Adipocyte hyperplasia: the primary mechanism of supraspinatus intramuscular fat accumulation after a complete rotator cuff tendon tear: a study in the rabbit

Intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulates in muscles of the rotator cuff after tendon tear. The number and cross-sectional area of fat clumps and of adipocytes were quantified on osmium tetroxide stained sections of the proximal, middle and distal quarters of SSP muscles 4, 8 and 12 weeks after SSP tendon...
