Summary

This study is testing whether adding a special processed tissue from human placentas can help people heal better after surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in the shoulder. About 120 adults with a full tear will have standard surgery, and half will also get this 'scaffolding' tissue placed at the repair site to try to help the tendon reattach to bone more strongly. The main goal is to see if this extra step lowers the chance of the tendon tearing again, which will be checked with a special one-year MRI scan.
