About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Case-controlled Blinded Study of Single Versus Double Row Suture Anchor Repair in Medium to Large Rotator Cuff Tears

The purpose of this study is to determine whether double row repair is better in healing than traditional single row repair in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Our null hypothesis is there are no differences in clinical and structural results

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • double row repairProcedure or surgery

    Also called dual row repair

    double row repair for torn rotator cuff were performed to compare with the conventional single row repair

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Retear rate in each group(single row repair group and double row repair group)

    Measured: MRI after 6 months from surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotator Cuff Tear, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retear rate in each group(single row repair group and double row repair group) (time frame: MRI after 6 months from surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01039571, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Apr 2011.
