This study looked at how well a new medical device (Quattro® X Suture Anchor with BroadBand™ Tape) helps heal torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. 106 adults who had surgery with this device were followed for one year. The main goal was to see if the tendon healed properly …

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) through a vein during shoulder arthroscopy improves the surgeon's view and reduces bleeding. 121 adults with rotator cuff tears were randomly assigned to receive TXA or a placebo. The main goal was to see if TXA made the surg…

This study tested whether doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff surgery. 30 people who had surgery at least 6 weeks earlier took part. Both groups did 8 weeks of exercises, and the home group show…

This study looked at whether doing special motor control exercises through video calls can help people recover shoulder function and quality of life after rotator cuff surgery. 34 adults who had the surgery took part. The researchers measured pain, movement, strength, and daily f…

This study looked at 60 adults aged 40-65 having rotator cuff repair surgery. Half had their biceps tendon cut (tenotomy) and half did not. Researchers measured shoulder function and used ultrasound to check tendon position. The goal was to see if cutting the tendon improves outc…

This study looked at whether advanced MRI and ultrasound techniques can better measure muscle changes in people with rotator cuff tears. Three adults with a tear on one side and a healthy shoulder on the other were scanned. The goal was to see if these methods are reliable and us…
