FiberLocker device to strengthen rotator cuff tear repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a device called FiberLocker® that strengthens the repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon during keyhole surgery. It may help the tendon heal better or faster than standard surgery alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for keyhole surgery to repair a full-thickness rotator cuff tear
