Long-term results of edge-to-edge repair for large rotator cuff tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

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 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 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 trial compares two different operations to treat large, hard-to-repair rotator cuff tears. If your tear is too damaged to be repaired in the usual way, the study tests whether one surgical approach may work better than a partial repair.
This study is for people with a large rotator cuff tear (the group of tendons that helps move your shoulder). It compares different treatments to see which gives the best results. To take part, your tear must have been found on an MRI, and your symptoms should have started within the last 6 months.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to fix a very large, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It may help people understand which technique leads to better shoulder function and recovery.
