Arthroscopic Repair of Traumatic Rotator Cuff Tears. A Prospective Trial
In Brief
An observational study for Full Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The optimal timing for surgical repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears is controversial. Today there are no prospective studies investigating the short to mid-term outcome after early arthroscopic repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears and the Swedish National Musculoskeletal Competence Centre requests more research to this subject. The investigators will follow 60 patients with acute rotator cuff tear undergoing early rotator cuff repair during the first year after surgery. The investigators hypothesise that the outcome after rotator cuff repair is good.
