Maximal Repair Versus Bridging Reconstruction with BioBrace® (NCT05959733)
Maximal Repair Versus Bridging Reconstruction with BioBrace® for the Treatment of Chronic, Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: Clinical, Radiographic, and In-vivo Biomechanical Analysis
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to determine if using BioBrace® to reconstruct the gap in the rotator cuff tears lead to better results for patients compared to the traditional maximal repair method. This study will use a variety of clinical, radiographic, and functional outcome measures. Specifically, the researchers will be comparing the re-tear rate, patient reported outcomes, shoulder strength, range of motion, muscle activation, in-vivo biomechanics, and other radiographic outcomes using x-ray and MRI.
