NCT ID NCT05855759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new surgical approach for people with large rotator cuff tears. Doctors will use a special skin tissue (donated and processed to remove cells) combined with the patient's own bone marrow and shoulder lining cells to strengthen the repair. The goal is to see if this method lowers the chance of the tendon tearing again. About 72 participants will be enrolled.
