Test collagen patch versus standard care after rotator cuff repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares a collagen “patch” placed during arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery versus the usual standard repair. It looks at safety and whether the patch improves healing and shoulder function after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear that can be repaired by bringing the tendon back with minimal tension
- Your MRI and X-rays are available to confirm the tear type and rule out other causes of pain
- You tried non-surgical treatment first (about 4–6 weeks of physical therapy and/or guided exercises, plus activity changes)
- You can attend all follow-up visits and do the post-surgery physical therapy plan
- You agree to take part in the study and sign the consent form

This study compares two types of patches used during rotator cuff repair surgery to help the tendon heal. It aims to find which patch works better for patients with a full tear that can be repaired.
This study tests whether adding a patch to standard rotator cuff repair helps large tears heal better. It's for adults who need their first surgery for a tear involving at least two tendons.
This trial studies whether repairing a rotator cuff tear using a patch made from human donor skin improves healing and shoulder function. It is for people with certain types of degenerative tears that can be fully repaired by surgery.
This study tests if adding a special patch (BioEnthesis™) to standard rotator cuff surgery helps the tendon heal better. You may qualify if you have a tear that can be surgically repaired and you are willing to commit to a year of follow-up.
This study tests whether using an estrogen patch after rotator cuff surgery helps improve healing and recovery. It is for women who have gone through menopause and are having surgery for a torn rotator cuff.
This trial studies a special patch placed during minimally invasive shoulder surgery to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It may help people whose tears are large or massive and who already tried non-surgical treatment without enough improvement.
