Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery Trial
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old and speak English fluently
- You have a medium (1–3 cm) or large (3–5 cm) full-thickness rotator cuff tear in the supraspinatus tendon, with minimal retraction
- Your tear shows limited fatty degeneration (Goutallier grade 0–2) on MRI
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with biceps tenodesis (biceps tendon repair)
- You have not had prior surgery on the same shoulder
- You do not have frozen shoulder, significant shoulder arthritis, or worker's compensation status

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.
This trial compares two different ways to repair a large, repairable rotator cuff (shoulder tendon) tear. It may help you understand which surgical approach leads to better recovery after non-surgical treatments have already failed.
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 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.
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 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.
