Tears in the rotator cuff are common, particularly as people age. Consequently, rotator cuff repair surgeries are common, as well. Despite the frequency with which rotator cuff repairs are performed, there remains a high rate of postoperative failure to heal. In such situations, there is a lack of connective tissue establishment between the rotator cuff tendon and the bone. One strategy to attempt to improve healing of the rotator cuff tendon back to the bone is via the use of extracellular matrix allograft. This treatment is composed of tissue from other humans, which is stripped of its cells so that just the scaffolding around the cells remains. This decellularized scaffolding can be placed at the rotator cuff healing site in an attempt to augment healing. Both animal studies and human studies have shown promise with this approach. Of those patients enrolling in the study, 50% will be assigned at random to receive a standard rotator cuff repair AND allograft treatment, while 50% will be assigned at random to receive standard rotator cuff repair WITHOUT allograft treatment.

Whereas many asymptomatic RCTs can be successfully managed non-surgically, when conservative treatment fails, surgery is recommended. However, there is a lack of consensus on the best approach to postoperative rehabilitation, an important factor in the recovery process of rotator cuff repairs. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of early versus delayed rehabilitation following rotator cuff repairs.\n\nObjective This study aims to determine the effectiveness of early versus delayed rehabilitation following rotator cuff repairs.\n\nMethod A two-armed, randomized controlled trial will be conducted in an outpatient physical rehabilitation department at a tertiary hospital. The sample will include 88 adults aged 18 years or older with RCTs. From the day after surgery, the intervention will engage in supervised passive range of motion (ROM) exercises, focusing on forward flexion and external rotation. They will receive daily exercise instructions, including table slides and active movements for the elbow, wrist, and hand, while also practicing passive shoulder flexion and abduction based on their pain limits. Participants are encouraged to do gentle pendulum exercises and passive movements three times daily to improve shoulder mobility. Active shoulder exercises will be restricted until six weeks post-surgery to ensure healing. Sling use will decrease by the sixth week, allowing for active ROM exercises to start. Participants in the control group will follow a delayed rehabilitation protocol, learning strict sling immobilization techniques for the first six weeks postoperatively. During this period, sling removal will be allowed only for basic exercises and daily activities, with no other shoulder movements encouraged initially. Sling use will end by the sixth week, followed by the start of active ROM exercises.\n\nOutcome measures will include shoulder ROM, muscle power, a numeric pain scale (NPS), shoulder pain disability index (SPADI), and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up between the two groups. Rotator cuff integrity will be evaluated using MRI at baseline and at 12 months post-surgery.\n\nConclusion We anticipate that this study will add to the body of knowledge required to make effective treatment choices on the management of patients following rotator cuff repairs. Ultimately, this trial aims not only to influence national rehabilitation guidelines but also to enrich the global evidence base concerning optimal rehabilitation strategies following rotator cuff repair, especially for populations in the Middle East and Gulf regions.",[26],[220],"Rotator cuff tear, post rotator cuff repair, physical rehabilitation, early rehabilitation, delayed rehabilitation","2026-01-07",{"date":223,"type":31},"2026-01-09",{"date":225,"type":22},"2026-01-01",{"date":227,"type":22},"2029-12-30",{"name":229,"class":38},"King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center",{"id":231,"slug":232,"hasResults":11,"nctId":233,"briefTitle":234,"officialTitle":234,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":235,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":236,"maxAge":157,"enrollmentInfo":237,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":106,"phases":239,"briefSummary":240,"conditions":241,"keywords":242,"overallStatus":59,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":247,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":248,"startDateStruct":250,"completionDateStruct":252,"leadSponsor":254,"locationsCount":256},"100586643","fiberlocker-system-augmentation-of-rotator-cuff-repairs-100586643","NCT06918041","FiberLocker® System Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repairs","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

The incidence rate rises with age and can be as high as 54% among people over 60 years old. Most rotator cuff tears are unable to heal spontaneously, and the tear area may gradually expand over time. Currently, the main surgical treatment for rotator cuff tears is to use suture anchors to stitch the rotator cuff tendon tissue back to the original anatomical insertion point. Large rotator cuff tears are often accompanied by fat infiltration and tendon retraction. When forcefully sutured, the tension is relatively high, which may lead to non-healing and re-tearing of the rotator cuff. Research indicates that the re-tear rate after rotator cuff tear repair is 20% - 30%, and this probability can reach 40% - 50% for large rotator cuff tears. For these irreparable and large tears, rotator cuff repair typically requires patch augmentation techniques. Surgeries are based on restoring the force couple effect of the rotator cuff as much as possible and covering it with repair materials to achieve reinforcement. Silk fibroin surgical mesh is made of silk fibroin which has good biocompatibility and can be generally placed in the area of rotator cuff tears that cannot be repaired through conventional surgeries. By providing support to the injured rotator cuff tissue, it improves the repair effect. It can reestablish the integrity of the rotator cuff, reducing mechanical tension at the repair site and maintaining the stability of the glenohumeral joint. Besides, it can also promote tissue healing, and cell infiltration and growth, thereby facilitating the biological repair of the injured rotator cuff and reducing the occurrence of postoperative re-tears.",[26],"2025-01-08",{"date":372,"type":31},"2025-01-09",{"date":374,"type":31},"2024-12-19",{"date":376,"type":22},"2026-12-19",{"name":378,"class":38},"Weiliang Shen, Ph.D., M.D.",{"id":380,"slug":381,"hasResults":11,"nctId":382,"briefTitle":383,"officialTitle":384,"acronym":385,"eligibilityCriteria":386,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":19,"enrollmentInfo":387,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":106,"phases":389,"briefSummary":390,"conditions":391,"keywords":392,"overallStatus":59,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":394,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":395,"startDateStruct":397,"completionDateStruct":399,"leadSponsor":401,"locationsCount":306},"100333150","superior-capsular-reconstruction-vs-partial-repair-for-massive-rotator-cuff-tears-100333150","NCT03617562","Superior Capsular Reconstruction vs. Partial Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears","Arthroscopic Partial Repair vs. Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: A Pilot Randomized and Controlled Trial","SCR","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Symptomatic shoulder pain and\u002F or weakness (regardless of baseline range of motion\u002F psuedoparalysis)\n* Massive rotator cuff tear, identified by MRI as being greater than 4 cm in greatest diameter, and involvement of the entire supraspinatus and infraspinatus.\n* Failure of at least a 3 month trial of non-surgical treatment including physiotherapy and activity modifications\n* Irreparable tear determined intra-operatively using standard arthroscopic techniques\n* Informed consent obtained\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Absence of subscapularis muscle insertion, or irreparable subscapularis tear\n* Advanced rotator cuff tear arthropathy (Hamada Grade 3+) or glenohumeral osteoarthritis (Samilson-Prieto grade 2+)\n* Acute tears (within 6 months)\n* Neurologic injury causing paralysis of affected shoulder \u002F arm\n* Any previous surgery to the affected shoulder\n* Limited life expectancy due to significant medical co-morbidity or medical contraindication to surgery (ASA Grade IV or higher)\n* Anticipated problems with ability to maintain follow-up in the judgement of the investigators (ie. patients with no fixed address, etc.)\n* Are there any non-orthopedic comorbidities that put the patient at significant risk?",{"count":388,"type":22},70,[108],"Little evidence exists to guide treatment in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MRCTS).
