Knotless rotator cuff repair outcomes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a new way of repairing a torn rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons around your shoulder) works. It uses a special technique that doesn't require tying knots, which may lead to better healing and less pain.

This study tests whether adding a small 'anchor' stitch to the bone during a standard rotator cuff repair helps improve healing. It is for people with a moderate-sized tear who have not had prior shoulder surgery.
This study tests arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery to repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It aims to see how well this surgery works for people with this common shoulder injury.
This study looks for unexpected bacteria in the shoulder during repeat rotator cuff surgery. It aims to learn how often these hidden infections happen so doctors can better treat patients.
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 looks at how well a special surgical technique for large rotator cuff tears holds up over many years. It uses MRI scans and check-ups to see how the shoulder is doing long after the surgery.
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.
