Study Summary

This trial compares two rotator cuff repair surgery methods to see which one is more effective.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with repairable full-thickness tears in specific shoulder muscles (supraspinatus or infraspinatus). It's not suitable for those under 18 or patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares traditional rotator cuff repair surgery to the same surgery combined with decompression of a nerve near the shoulder (suprascapular nerve).See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and complications related to nerve decompression such as temporary or permanent nerve damage.
