First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study compares two surgeries for people with severe, irreparable rotator cuff tears: partial repair alone versus partial repair plus a graft to rebuild the shoulder's natural support. Researchers will track pain, function, and quality of life in 105 adults over two years. The goal is to see if adding the graft provides extra benefit or leads to more failures.
