NCT ID NCT07375277
First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests a surgical technique for people with massive rotator cuff tears. Instead of cutting the biceps tendon, surgeons move it to help support the repair. Researchers will track shoulder function, quality of life, and sleep in 35 adults over 12 months to see if this approach works better than standard methods.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical procedure: long head of the biceps tendon transposition without tenotomy
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could offer a better surgical option for people with massive rotator cuff tears, potentially improving shoulder function and reducing pain without needing to cut the biceps tendon.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 35 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery carries typical risks like infection, stiffness, or failure to heal.
