Clinical Trial Summary

Randomized controlled trial comparing coblation debridement to mechanical debridement in rotator cuff repair.


Clinical Trial Description

Prospective, Double blind, Randomized controlled trial. Male and female subjects, over the age of 18 years. Full thickness rotator cuff tear, requiring surgical repair. Patient undergoes pre- and intra-operative assessment, and once eligibility is confirmed intra-operatively, patient is randomly assigned to receive either a) coblation debridment, or b) mechanical debridement. Standard post-operative rehab program for all patients. Follow-up occurs at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months post operatively and includes physical exam and patient based outcomes (questionnaires). ;
