Study of shoulder repair with Lok™ suture anchors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests how well Lok™ suture anchors work for repairing certain shoulder problems like rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, or partial tears. It is for people whose MRI confirms the injury and who haven't had prior shoulder surgery on that side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You're 18 or older and your bones have finished growing.
- You have one of these shoulder problems: rotator cuff tear, calcific tendonitis with biceps issues, shoulder instability, or a partial rotator cuff (PASTA) tear.
- An MRI or arthrogram must confirm the injury.
- You haven't had any surgery on the same shoulder before.
- You don't have active infections, severe arthritis, or bone problems that would affect healing.
- You understand and speak/read French and can commit to follow-up visits.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm). It tests if a newer method helps people recover better than the standard approach.
This study is testing a new shoulder implant called the Integrity Implant System to see how well it works for people with rotator cuff tears. It may be a good fit if you need surgery to repair your torn tendon and meet the safety requirements.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific tendon in the shoulder. It is for people who have a problem with that long tendon but do not have a full tear of the other important shoulder tendons.
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 study follows people who had rotator cuff repair using a special stitching system with anchors (FSSA). It checks how well the tendon heals by looking at MRI scans taken about a year after surgery.
This study collects information on how well a specific suture anchor system works for rotator cuff repair and how safe it is. It may help doctors understand its benefits for patients recovering from this shoulder surgery.
