NCT ID NCT07394348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques for the biceps tendon—tenotomy (cutting the tendon) and tenodesis (reattaching it)—in 50 adults aged 50-70 undergoing rotator cuff repair. The goal is to see which method leads to less pain, better shoulder function, and stronger grip and elbow strength after surgery. Participants will be followed for several months to track recovery.
