ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

This study looked at how well a special suture anchor (Quattro X with BroadBand Tape) helps heal torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. 106 adults who had this surgery were followed for one year. Doctors checked if the tendon healed to the bone and measured shoulder function …

This study looked at whether doing special motor control exercises at home through video calls can help people recover shoulder function and quality of life after rotator cuff surgery. Thirty-four adults who had the surgery participated. The researchers measured pain, movement, s…

This study tested whether doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff surgery. Thirty people who had surgery at least six weeks earlier took part. Both groups did the same exercises for eight weeks, and…

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) through a vein during shoulder arthroscopy improves the surgeon's view and reduces bleeding. 121 adults with rotator cuff tears took part. The goal is to see if TXA can make surgery safer and more effective.

This study tested new ways to use MRI and ultrasound to look at shoulder muscles in people with rotator cuff tears. Three adults with a tear on one side and a healthy shoulder on the other took part. The goal was to see if these imaging tools can measure muscle health more accura…

This study looked at 60 people aged 40-65 having rotator cuff repair surgery. Half had their biceps tendon cut (tenotomy) and half did not. Researchers measured shoulder function and used ultrasound to check tendon position. The goal was to see if cutting the tendon improves outc…
