BioBrace implant for rotator cuff tear repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new implant called BioBrace to help repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears during shoulder surgery. It may be a good option if you have a moderate-sized tear, have already tried non-surgical treatments, and are between 40 and 70 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two surgical approaches for fixing large, two-tendon rotator cuff tears in the shoulder, using a product called BioBrace®. It may help you understand which approach leads to better recovery and shoulder function.
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.
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 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 whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This trial tests a standard surgical treatment for people with a large tear in the rotator cuff tendon. It aims to improve shoulder function and pain relief.
