Summary
This study tests a new approach to improve rotator cuff healing. A small piece of chest muscle is taken, broken into tiny fragments, and injected into the shoulder muscle during surgery. Researchers believe these fragments may help the muscle grow stronger and improve function. The study involves 20 adults aged 40-80 with small tears, and its main goal is to check safety.
