Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Tear Repair: Single Versus Double Layer Fixation

NCT03362320 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Retear rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs remain unsatisfactorily high. Recently, attention has been paid to restore the rotator cuff's native anatomy by reconstructing the superior joint capsule. However, the debate whether to reconstruct only the superficial tendinous part or also the deeper capsulo-ligamentous part of the rotator cuff is ongoing. Thus, the intention of the present study is to compare double-layer versus single-layer arthroscopic rotator cuff repair regarding retear rate and clinical outcome.
