Shoulder tear repair healing study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain markers in your body can predict how well your shoulder tendon heals after surgery. It may help doctors know what to expect during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 99 years old.
- You had surgery to repair a partial or full thickness tear in your shoulder tendon.
- You agreed to join the Orthopedics Biobank for research.
- You have not had any prior surgery on the same shoulder.
- You do not have frozen shoulder or other shoulder problems that might affect healing.
- You are not pregnant and do not have a worker's compensation claim.

This study looks at how genes and risk factors relate to rotator cuff tears by comparing people with and without these tears. It may help researchers understand why tears happen and who is most at risk.
This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
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 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 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.
