Autologous Adult Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cell Injection Into Chronic Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears (NCT03752827)
A Prospective, Double-Blinded, Multi-Center Pivotal Trial of Autologous Adult Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cell Injection Into Chronic Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the safety and superior effectiveness in functional improvement in patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) after the administration of a single injection of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) into the partial-thickness rotator cuff tear compared to the administration of a single corticosteroid injection into the associated subacromial space.
