Trephination in Arthroscopic Cuff Repair: a Prospective Randomized Controlled

Rotator Cuff Tear Clinical Trial

Official title:
Trephination in Arthroscopic Cuff Repair: a Prospective Randomized Controlled

Clinical Trial Summary

This Clinical Trial is being conducted to study an adjunctive treatment for rotator cuff repair; bone trephination."Trephination" is a procedure that involves making small perforations in the bone that the tendon is repaired to.The rotator cuff is repaired by sewing the tendon down to the bone in the shoulder. Trephination is a new technique that is used in addition to the standard method of repairing the rotator cuff tendon. The control group will undergo the standard repair for rotator cuff tears. It is the investigators' hypothesis that healing rates in patients who undergo bone trephination will be higher compared with surgery without trephination in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at 24 months post-operatively.

Clinical Trial Description

Rotator cuff repair carried out with current techniques has shown favourable results in terms of pain relief. However the re-tear rates remain high and are associated with significant morbidity in terms of functional outcome and shoulder strength. As rotator cuff disease becomes ever more prevalent with our aging population, it is imperative to determine if healing rates can be improved with autologous stem cell enhancement with pre-surgical preparation of the tendon insertion site through trephination. This trial is necessary both to provide optimal care of our patients, and to do so in a fiscally responsible fashion. The primary outcome measure the re-tear rate as measured by ultrasound at 24 months post-operatively. The secondary outcome measures are Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC), Constant Score, and the American Shoulder and Elbow surgeons standardized assessment of shoulder function (ASES). ;
