Ultrasound imaging after rotator cuff repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the repaired rotator cuff is healing by using a special ultrasound technique. It may help your team better understand the quality of healing after arthroscopic surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your rotator cuff repair surgery was done between 2015 and 2020
- Your surgery was an arthroscopic repair for a partial or full tear in the supraspinatus or subscapularis tendon(s)
- You may have had biceps tenodesis during the same procedure (this is allowed)
- You can understand and sign the study consent (you can follow the instructions and answer questions)
- You have not had revision (repeat) surgery on the same shoulder for a prior rotator cuff repair

This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
This trial uses ultrasound imaging to check how the shoulder heals over the first year after surgery for a large tear in the rotator cuff (the group of tendons that helps lift and rotate your arm). The goal is to better understand recovery and improve care for people with this injury.
This trial studies a specific surgical approach to repair medium to large rotator cuff tears (a common shoulder injury) using minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery combined with biceps tendon repair. It aims to evaluate outcomes in patients who are good candidates for this type of surgery.
This study tests if an extra release of certain tissues during rotator cuff repair can help prevent shoulder stiffness after surgery. It is for people with small or medium tears that can be fixed with a scope.
This study tests whether adding special tissue from your shoulder and a blood-derived product during rotator cuff repair surgery helps the tendon heal better and function more normally.
This study looks at how repairing a torn rotator cuff (a group of muscles around the shoulder) along with addressing a damaged biceps tendon affects recovery. It helps see which surgical approach works best for people with both issues.
