Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce the risk for re-tear in rotator cuff surgeries and improve clinical results in a working age population. The main questions it aims to answer are:

If we can improve surgical results using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft.

If we can reduce the risk of re-tear using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft.

Researchers will compare participants with rotator cuff tears with two different surgical techniques to see if their clinical results improve using the long head of the biceps tendon as a graft compared with not using a graft.

Participants will be asked to get enrolled in the study not knowing in which group they will be assigned to by signing a Informed Consent Form and both groups would have the same follow up conditions and treatment.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tear Surgical Repair

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Augmented supraspinatus repair

After conventional arthroscopic repair of the supraspinsatus with a double row technique, an autologous graft obtained from the long head of the biceps will be used as a Graf to improve biological properties of the supraspinatus tear; aiming to reduce re-tears and to improve Clinical results.

PROCEDURE

Convencional Supraspinatus tear repair

A double row technique will be performed arthroscopically.
