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.
This study tests whether taking a sex hormone (testosterone) around the time of rotator cuff surgery improves healing after repair. It may help some men recover better, but it only fits people with specific tear features and health conditions.
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 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 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 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.
