Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trial
— AMRISOfficial title:
Arthroscopic Treatment of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Debridement and or Biodegradable Spacer: a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.
Massive rotator cuff tears are common in the adult population. It is estimated that about 12
% of adults 60 years of age or older suffer from a rotator cuff injury. About 40 % of these
injuries are classified as massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT). MRCT propose a great challenge
to the affected patient and its doctor. It is a painful condition with few treatment options.
The study aims to investigate the operative treatment for MRCT with the new treatment option
proposed by Senecovic. Insertion of a biodegradable balloon as a subacromial spacer has
proven promising results so far. To this date there is only small and non-randomized studies
on the subject. AMRIS are planning to do a randomized controlled study where group A is
treated with arthroscopic debridement, biceps tenotomy and biodegradable spacer, while group
B, the control group are treated with arthroscopic debridement and biceps tenotomy.

Primary | Change in Constant score | A well review score that takes several factors in to account: active range of motion, activities of daily living, pain and strength. A person with a normal, healthy shoulder should score 100 points, which is maximum score. Constant score is seen as a relatively objective test, as the testing will be performed by a physiotherapist. | Preop, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years. | |
