NCT ID NCT07368725
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study followed 100 patients with a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity humerus fracture) combined with rotator cuff injury. Researchers compared those treated conservatively versus surgically to see how rotator cuff function changed over time. They also used CT scans to create 3D models for more precise measurements of the fracture.
