This study tests a new device called FiberLocker® that reinforces rotator cuff surgery to help the tendon heal better. About 60 adults aged 30-70 with full-thickness tears will be enrolled. The main goal is to see if the repair heals properly on MRI after 6 months, with a focus on reducing re-tears.
