Bone marrow secrets could boost shoulder surgery success
NCT ID NCT05106088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether the characteristics of bone marrow in the upper arm bone can predict how well a torn rotator cuff heals after surgery. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 18-75 with full-thickness tears and use MRI and CT scans to measure tendon healing. The goal is to identify factors that could lead to better repair techniques or pre-surgery screening in the future.
