Postoperative USG Control and Clinical Follow-up of Massive Rotator Cuff Tendon Ruptures

NCT07004218 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to investigate the tendon integrity and clinical outcomes following surgical repair of massive rotator cuff tears. Patients with preoperatively diagnosed massive tears, confirmed by MRI and scheduled for surgery, will be included. Tendon healing will be assessed using ultrasonography at postoperative 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Clinical evaluation will be conducted using standardized scoring systems including ASES, UCLA Shoulder Score, VAS, and thresholds for MCID, SCB, and PASS.

The primary outcome is the rate and timing of retears at 12 months and their correlation with functional recovery. The study also aims to identify prognostic factors affecting tendon survivability, such as age, tear size, and muscle quality. By combining imaging and clinical parameters, this study seeks to contribute to the optimization of postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation strategies in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears.
