What this Trial Is About
This research aims to improve treatment for patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears MRCTS, a condition where the shoulders rotator cuff is severely damaged and cannot be fully repaired. It compares two surgical methods to find better evidence for treatment decisions the established arthroscopic partial rotator cuff repair PRCR and the newer superior capsular reconstruction SCR using a dermal allograft. This pilot randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial is designed to support a larger future study and involves multiple surgeons and centers.
