Filter by:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a common and painful procedure routinely performed on an outpatient basis. Postoperative pain control regimens can include narcotic pain medicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and regional anesthesia such as an interscalene block (ISB). Regional blocks such as ISB can safely provide complete pain relief for the shoulder and upper extremity for eight to twelve hours1. However, the shoulder is still very painful when the block wears off. The purpose of this study is to: 1. Examine the efficacy of continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine catheters during the first two days after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. 2. Examine narcotic consumption after continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine and placebo catheters after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. 3. Evaluate for any continued pain relief benefit of continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine catheters during the three days after the infusion catheters have finished.
This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tear .
The investigators hypothesize that the use of an allograft adjuvant to partial repair will lead to improved shoulder outcome measure scores compared to partial repair alone in massive rotator cuff tears.
The aim of this study is to collect and report data from a consecutive series of patients implanted with these products as part of a post-market surveillance plan for CE Mark approval in the European Union.
There are very few level 1 or level 2 evidence studies that examine postoperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroplasty. A systematic review of level 1 or level 2 evidence studies was performed (Baumgarten et al., Sports Health, 2009) that found only four studies that examined rotator cuff repair rehabilitation. The current study was performed to determine if there is a significant difference in passive glenohumeral joint range of motion, active glenohumeral joint range of motion, scapular substitution, and subjects measured outcome scores (clinimetrics) in patients who undergo rotator cuff repair when treated postoperatively with pulley exercises compared to Jackins' exercises. Null Hypothesis: There will be no significant difference in passive range of motion, active range of motion, scapular substitution, and subject measured outcomes scores in subjects who undergo rotator cuff repair when treated with pulley exercises compared to Jackins' exercises.
The optimal timing for surgical repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears is controversial. Today there are no prospective studies investigating the short to mid-term outcome after early arthroscopic repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears and the Swedish National Musculoskeletal Competence Centre requests more research to this subject. The investigators will follow 60 patients with acute rotator cuff tear undergoing early rotator cuff repair during the first year after surgery. The investigators hypothesise that the outcome after rotator cuff repair is good.
The aim of this study to define the optimal rehabilitation for clients with full thickness rotator cuff reconstruction, with two goals: 1. Finding the optimal physical therapy dosage in enhancing post-operative outcomes of shoulder pain, shoulder joint range of motion, shoulder muscle strength, upper extremity function; and 2. Finding the effect of aquatic physical therapy in enhancing the post-operative outcomes.
A massive tear of the rotator cuff is a debilitating condition that causes pain, significant impairments in strength, and resultant loss of activity of the affected arm. To our knowledge, there is no Level 1 evidence comparing surgical procedures to treat massive rotator cuff tears. Adding the first randomized controlled trial to will be a substantial contribution to the current body of evidence available in the subject of massive rotator cuff tears. Most studies found in the literature following patients with massive rotator cuff tears are retrospective, have small numbers of patients, offer no control group and do not adequately compare treatment methods.Moreover, there is no consensus from experts regarding which treatment is superior. Our multicentre orthopaedic study group proposes a multicentre randomized clinical trial prospectively comparing latissimus dorsi tendon transfer to arthroscopic management for the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears. This study will include the use of comprehensive functional, motor and radiographic outcome assessments.
Study Purpose: To evaluate the safety and performance of Augment Rotator Cuff as a primary surgical treatment for full thickness rotator cuff tears. The hypothesis is that Augment Rotator Cuff will be easy to deliver as an inter-positional graft placed between the rotator cuff tendon and the humeral head providing further enhanced tendon to bone healing without adding any additional safety risk to the patient. Study Rationale: To evaluate the safety and performance Augment™ Rotator Cuff in surgical intervention of a torn rotator cuff and to obtain preliminary data to support the rationale for a subsequent pivotal clinical trial.
