Comparison Between Arthroscopic Debridement and Repair for Ellman Grade II Bursal-side Partial-thickness Rotator Cuff Tears: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating arthroscopic debridement and arthroscopic repair for Rotator Cuff Tears. Completed, enrolled 179 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of arthroscopic debridement and repair for Ellman grade II bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tears.The hypothesis was that there would be no difference in prognosis between arthroscopic debridement and repair.

Interventions
For the arthroscopic debridement, only stump refreshing and surrounding soft tissue cleaning were performed.
For the arthroscopic repair, we converted partial tears into full-thickness tears and sutured them.
