Filter by:This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study will compare patients allocated to two treatment arms who are undergoing surgery to repair rotator cuff tears: (1) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors augmented with a synthetic polyester patch, and (2) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors and no augmentation with a synthetic polyester patch. The primary objective is to compare complications (primarily retear rates) and the secondary objective is to compare mid- and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes using standard orthopedic assessments, such as the subjective shoulder value and the Constant-Murley score.
The rotator cuff is a muscle-tendon complex consisting of the tendons of the supraspinatus, subspinatus, subscapularis, and small round muscles capable of allowing movement of the shoulder joint in the various planes of space and stabilizing the glenohumeral joint. Rotator cuff tendon injuries are very common. In most cases, these injuries are mostly degenerative based, as they are related to the aging process of the individual. However, it is increasingly common to diagnose such injuries in young individuals as well. The reported incidence of rotator cuff injuries ranges from 5% to 40%, and of course the prevalence increases with age until it reaches 51% in patients older than 80 years. The diagnosis of rotator cuff injury is made based on clinical examination and instrumental investigations such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Rotator cuff repair involves the use of anchors with included suture threads that allow the tendons to be returned to the level of the anatomical insertion, called the footprint. Suture technique varies depending on the extent of injury and tendon and bone quality. Single-row (single row) or double-row suture bridge (double-row suture bridge) anchoring techniques are currently a hotly debated topic in the literature.
The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the effect of suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block in relieving postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Are there differences in visual analog pain scale and patient's satisfaction? Are there differences in mean plasma pain related cytokines? The participants will undergo preemptive ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block using each 0.75% ropivacaine 10mL or each 0.9% saline 10mL.
Through this prospective, single-arm cohort pilot study, we plan to explore the safety and effectiveness of Shoulder Radiofrequency Ablation (SRFA) in patients with non-operative chronic shoulder pain due to shoulder osteoarthritis with or without rotator cuff tears.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is telerehabilitation effective in improving the functional status of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy? - Is telerehabilitation effective in reducing the pain of rotator cuff patients?
The study gives an overview of surgically treated rotator cuff injury patients in Tartu University Hospital Sports Traumatology Centre during 2013-2019 and evaluates the integrity of rotator cuff at minimum 5 years after atraumatic rotator cuff tendon repair. First stage of the study describes the study population, etiology of the injury (traumatic/atraumatic) and aims to answer the question whether the arthroscopic findings are in line with the preoperative imaging studies or not. Second stage of the study focuses on atraumatic tendon tears assessing structural integrity of the tendons 5 years after repair using ultrasound imaging. The main question is - does the findings correlate with clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Participants of the second phase of the study will be asked for an appointment to have their shoulders examined with ultrasonography and clinical outcomes are measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and The Constant-Murley score (CMS).
The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative healing of large and massive rotator cuff tears with preoperative MRI confirmed fatty infiltration stage II and higher repaired with or without dermal allograft augmentation (DAA).
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SSS) is one of the most common shoulder problems. The core region is considered a kinetic link that facilitates the transfer of torque and angular momentum between the upper and lower extremities during body movements. The decrease in core stabilization affects both trunk control and the quality of extremity movements depending on the kinetic chain in the body. The improvement in core stabilization balances the load transfer between the trunk and the extremities and reduces the asymmetry between the extremities. Core stabilization training should be included in rehabilitation programs as core stabilization is adversely affected in patients with CNS. For this reason, this study was planned to examine the effects of core stabilization training applied in addition to conventional treatment in patients with CNS on pain, range of motion, upper extremity function and core stability.
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.
Rotator cuff tears are common musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to altered scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns and reduced function. This study aims to investigate the relationship between rotator cuff tear severity and scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between the severity of rotator cuff tears and the activation patterns of scapular and rotator cuff muscles. Secondary objectives include: 1. Identifying differences in muscle activation patterns between varying tear sizes. 2. Evaluating the potential of these activation patterns as an indicator for the severity of rotator cuff tears. 3. Assessing the influence of muscle activation patterns on the functional capacity of the affected shoulder.
