Fat cells to the rescue: new hope for torn rotator cuffs?
NCT ID NCT03332238
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a patient's own fat cells (called stromal vascular fraction cells) during rotator cuff surgery can improve healing. About 56 adults aged 45-65 with chronic tears will receive the cells during their operation. The goal is to see if this approach leads to stronger shoulders and less pain compared to surgery alone.
