First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether injecting small pieces of a person's own chest muscle into the shoulder can help rebuild strength after rotator cuff repair. Twenty adults aged 40 to 80 with small tears will receive the injection during surgery. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also measure muscle size and fat content to see if the treatment works.
