Clinical Trial: Long-term Clinical and Anatomical Evaluation of Edge-to-edge Repair of Large to Very Large Rotator Cuff Tears

U.S., Sept. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07838922) titled 'Long-term Clinical and Anatomical Evaluation of Edge-to-edge Repair of Large to Very Large Rotator Cuff Tears' on Aug. 26.

Brief Summary: Rotator cuff disorders range from impingement syndrome to partial or through-and-through tears. Partial tears most commonly affect the deep layer of the tendon, whilst through-and-through tears are characterised by a complete break in the tendon. Large to very large rotator cuff tears, where repairable, can be managed using equivalent transosseous repair and double-row repair. When direct anatomical tendon-to-bone repair is no longer possible, margin convergence (MC) suturing (also known as edge-...
