Rotator cuff tears

This study follows 200 adults who receive the Shoulder iD™ implant to treat severe rotator cuff tears or shoulder arthritis. Researchers measure how well the shoulder works and how often the implant needs to be fixed or replaced over 10 years. Participants attend regular check-up…

This early-phase trial tests whether injecting special donor cells (E-CEL UVEC) into the shoulder during rotator cuff surgery is safe and might improve healing. Twenty adults aged 45-70 with full-thickness tears will receive the cells at the repair site. The main goal is to check…

This early study tests a new device called SINEFIX to repair small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm) in 9 adults. The implant is placed during keyhole surgery to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. Researchers will use MRI scans to check if the tendon heals properly and if there …

This study tests whether adding stem cells from a patient's own fat tissue to standard rotator cuff surgery can improve healing and reduce recovery time. About 30 adults with shoulder tendon tears will receive the stem cell injection during surgery. The goal is to see if this sim…

This study is following 110 people who received a Tornier HRS shoulder replacement to see how well it improves pain and function. Participants have conditions like arthritis, fractures, or rotator cuff tears. The goal is to collect long-term safety and performance data for regula…

This study tests a special implant called TAPESTRY that is placed during shoulder surgery to support healing of torn rotator cuff tendons. About 170 adults with partial or full-thickness tears will receive the implant and be followed for 6 months. The main goal is to see if the i…

This study tests a new flexible suturing system with anchors (FSSA) to repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears. About 100 people who have had this surgery will get an MRI one year later to check if the tendon has healed. The goal is to see if this device helps tendons heal more …

This study explores whether adding motor imagery (mentally practicing shoulder movements) to standard physical therapy improves muscle activity, pain, and function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. About 36 adults who have had this surgery will be split into two groups: one…

This study looks at how the position and angle of surgical anchors used in rotator cuff repair affect cyst formation and tendon healing. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure cyst volume and assess tendon recovery in 70 adults aged 18–70 undergoing primary arthroscopic repair…

This study explores whether the characteristics of bone marrow in the upper arm bone can predict how well a torn rotator cuff heals after surgery. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 18-75 with full-thickness tears and use MRI and CT scans to measure tendon healing. The goal i…
