What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses MRI scans to check how well the subscapular tendon—a key shoulder tendon—heals years after surgical repair. Researchers want to see if a new arthroscopic classification of tendon tears predicts better healing and less fatty buildup in the muscle. Adults who had this surgery in specific time periods are eligible. The findings could help surgeons improve techniques and set realistic expectations for recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MRI imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve understanding of tendon healing after shoulder surgery and help refine surgical techniques to reduce long-term muscle damage.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no new treatment, so it cannot change outcomes directly. MRI findings may not fully reflect how well the shoulder functions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient, male or female, aged ≥ 18 years * Patient who has undergone surgical repair for a rupture or rotator cuff injury involving the subscapularis tendon between April and September 2016 and between May 2018 and January 2019 * Patient with a lesion of the subscapularis tendon characterized with arthroscopic classification * Patient who has previously participated in the classification study of subscapularis tendon injuries based on findings arthroscopy conducted only at the Jean Mermoz Hospital Exclusion Criteria: * Patient with a contraindication to MRI
