Fat cells could be key to fixing torn shoulders
NCT ID NCT03332238
Summary
This study is testing whether a patient's own fat cells can help heal a torn rotator cuff tendon. Doctors will collect fat from the patient's abdomen during surgery, process it to get special healing cells, and inject them into the repaired shoulder. The goal is to see if these cells improve muscle strength and reduce pain better than standard surgery alone.
