Clinical Trial to Compare Clinical and Functional Results of the Augmentation of Supraspinatus Tears With the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii Tendon
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Rotator Cuff Tear Surgical Repair
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce the risk for re-tear in rotator cuff surgeries and improve clinical results in a working age population. The main questions it aims to answer are: If we can improve surgical results using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft. If we can reduce the risk of re-tear using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft. Researchers will compare participants with rotator cuff tears with two different surgical techniques to see if their clinical results improve using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft compared with not using a graft. Participants will be asked to get enrolled in the study not knowing in which group they will be assigned to by signing a Informed Consent Form and both groups would have the same follow up conditions and treatment.
