Bioinductive Patch for Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears
The purpose of this randomized-controlled study is to compare outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair augmented with a Bioinductive Implant (study group) to standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (control group). The primary outcome of this study is rotator cuff repair integrity (absence of full- or partial-thickness defect) demonstrated on ultrasound …
The Role of Pectoralis Minor Tightness in the Development of Rotator Cuff Tears
This study investigates whether tightness of a small chest muscle called the pectoralis minor is associated with the development of rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. Using a propensity score matched case-control design, the study compares patients with rotator cuff tears (case group, n=45) to patients with intact rotator cuffs …
Comparison of Two General Anesthesia Maintenance Strategies on Intraoperative Visibility During Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery: A Randomized Trial
Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures, and the quality of the surgeon's view inside the joint is critical to its safety and success. Unlike limb surgery, no tourniquet can be applied to the shoulder, so surgical visibility depends almost entirely on how much bleeding occurs within …
Virtual Reality Rehabilitation for Shoulder Pathologies
Most rehabilitation protocols require patients to train the affected limbs with high regularity, following repetitive cycles of exercises, in order to recover mobility and strength. Nonetheless, the repetitive nature of these exercises can demotivate patients leading to less intense and committed training, if not ending with a lack of compliance …
Therapeutic Exercise for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy / Subacromial Pain Syndrome - Outcomes and Mechanisms
Rotator cuff tendinopathy, one of the pathologies identified as part of the cluster of shoulder symptoms known as subacromial pain syndrome, is a common musculoskeletal shoulder condition. Resolution of pain and disability is poor despite treatment, with only about 50% reporting full recovery at 12 - 18 months. Prior studies …
Pain Education After Rotator Cuff Surgery
Study Title: The Effect of Pain Neuroscience Education Combined with Conventional Rehabilitation on Pain Management and Functional Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repair Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to a conventional rehabilitation program improves pain management, physical function, and psychosocial outcomes …
Slow and Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocols
Latissimus dorsi transfer is an established treatment option with favorable results in massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, however, it is controversial if earlier motion is detrimental or beneficial to the postoperative goal of reduced pain and improved clinical outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effects …
Does Sarcopenia Influence Rotator Cuff Tear Patterns? Radiological Insights From Patients With Rotator Cuff Syndrome
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass due to aging, which consequently leads to a decline in muscle function. It is considered an independent risk factor for falls and fractures, disability, postoperative complications, and mortality. Rotator cuff tears are known to be influenced by systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, …
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study of the Pitch-Patch for the Augmentation or Reinforcement of the Rotator Cuff
This is a clinical investigation study. It will verify the long-term safety and performance of the Pitch-Patch when implanted to reinforce partially repairable rotator cuff tears and used as described by the manufacturer's instructions. The medical device in this study is already on the market and is manufactured by Xiros …
Vibratory Anesthesia on Pain Following Corticosteroid Injections
This research study aims to evaluate injectional pain at the site of needle insertion for corticosteroid injections (CSI) of the upper extremity depending on different modes of anesthetics. Each individual's perception of pain upon receiving a CSI with two out of three modes of anesthesia (control/no anesthesia, vibrational anesthesia, vapo-coolant …
