First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether injecting stem cells from a patient's own belly fat during rotator cuff surgery can improve healing and reduce recovery time. About 30 adults with a torn shoulder tendon will receive the stem cell treatment along with standard surgery. The goal is to see if this simple, minimally invasive approach leads to better pain relief and shoulder function compared to surgery alone.
