Filter by:Few studies are considering acute traumatic rotator cuff tears in previously asymptomatic patients. The purpose of the current study was to investigate if delay of surgery, age at repair and the number of cuff tendons involved affected the structural and clinical outcomes.
Subacromial pain catheters have been used with uncertain efficacy for many years after rotator cuff repair to aid in postoperative pain control. Our null hypothesis is that postoperative subacromial continuous infusion bupivacaine catheters will provide no pain control benefits over placebo infusions or no catheter use.
Subjects undergoing an open surgical repair for their torn Rotator Cuff (RC) will be consented, screened, and enrolled in the study if they meet all eligibility criteria. At the time of open surgical repair, subjects who are randomized to receive the test article in addition to the Standard of Care (SOC) will be hospitalized and have a single dose of BMP-655/ACS surgically implanted at the site of tendon attachment to bone. Subjects who are randomized to receive SOC alone will receive no test article. Following surgery, subjects will be prescribed a rehabilitation plan. Subjects will then complete 9 follow-up visits beginning 24 hours after surgery and continuing through 52 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate two FDA approved implant designs for the Tornier Reverse Shoulder arthroplasty. The small difference in design is the amount of offset each implant has. This offset may improve clinical outcomes in the patient population. There have been no clinical comparative studies between these two designs in the literature to date. We would like to follow these patients for two years after implantation of the reverse shoulder and evaluate their radiographs, pain scores, and shoulder functional scores. this would be the first randomized prospective single blinded study of its kind.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the natural course of asymptomatic rotator cuff tears.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether double row repair is better in healing than traditional single row repair in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Our null hypothesis is there are no differences in clinical and structural results
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient shoulder functional outcomes following rotator cuff repairs reinforced with a surgical mesh.
Prospective, randomized, multi-center, controlled study for patients undergoing open rotator cuff repair. Patients are stratified based on tear size to one of three groups. Each group is then randomized 1:1 to either repair with OrthoADAPT or repair without OrthoADAPT.
Study to assess the safety of 3 differing concentrations of BMP-655/ACS in subjects with full thickness Rotator Cuff Tears (RCTs).
The purpose of this project is to provide information which can help us understand what happens over time to rotator cuff tears. In this study, the investigators will follow a population of people with rotator cuff tears that do not hurt (asymptomatic) and to establish the probability that an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear, identified in the context of contralateral symptoms, will become symptomatic over time. To determine with ultrasound the probability that a rotator cuff tear will enlarge over time. To determine if symptom progression correlates with enlargement of the rotator cuff tear and/or degenerative changes on radiographs. In order to obtain data, study subjects will be recalled for follow-up at 1 year time points over a 5 year period. The study subjects will have repeat physical exam, ultrasound and radiographic examinations. A control group of normal patients will also be followed for comparison.
