Shoulder surgery showdown: bone reshaping vs balloon implant
NCT ID NCT06735170
Summary
This study compares two surgical approaches for massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. It tests whether reshaping the shoulder bone (tuberoplasty) or inserting a balloon-like spacer works better to reduce painful bone-on-bone contact and improve function. Researchers will measure shoulder motion and pain levels in 40 participants aged 65+ to see which procedure provides better results.
