New study tracks hidden tendon shifts after rotator cuff repair
NCT ID NCT02716441
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the repaired rotator cuff tendon moves away from the bone over time, even if it stays connected. Researchers will follow 125 people for up to 5 years after surgery using special X-rays and MRI scans. The goal is to see if this movement affects strength, pain, and shoulder function. This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment.
