Summary
This study tested whether adding a small balloon-like spacer (InSpace) during rotator cuff repair surgery helps prevent the tendon from tearing again. Thirty adults with a specific type of shoulder tear were split into two groups: one got the spacer, the other did not. The main goal was to check re-tear rates after 12 months using imaging, along with pain, mobility, and quality of life.
