Q: Question: Is atrophy of type I and II muscle fibers reversible in the case of grade > 2 fatty degeneration of the supraspinatus muscle : an experimental study in rabbits?
Answer: Atrophy of type I and II muscle fibers in rabbit supraspinatus muscle, characterized by grade >2 fatty degeneration according to the Goutallier computed tomography classification, is reversible after 24 weeks from reattachment of its tendon. A requirement for type I and II muscle fibers hypertrophy is a change in the biomechanical and functional conditions of the muscle after its tendon is reconstructed.
