Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients diagnosed with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears. Partial rotator cuff tears can be divided into three categories, bursa side tears, tendon tears and joint side tears. Studies have found that rotator cuff tendon tears account for 55% of partial tears, compared to the other two types of partial tears, there has been very little research on partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears, which has no consensus on diagnosis and treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • From August 2006 to December 2011, patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery in our department and were successfully followed up.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with frozen shoulder and shoulder joint instability.

About this study

Official title: Arthroscopic Treatment of Partial-thickness Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears

A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery from August 2006 to December 2011. To evaluate functional outcomes and tendon healing after arthroscopy.

Read the detailed description

To study the surgical method and clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tendon tear. Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery from August 2006 to December 2011. Preoperative X-ray and MRI were performed. Rotator cuff repair was performed during the operation. UCLA shoulder scoring scale was used to evaluate the shoulder joint at preoperative and final follow-up.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 1 year after arthroscopy.

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Shoulder Score Scale at 1 year after operation.The UCLA scale has a minimum score of 2 and a maximum score of 35. The higher the score, the better the prognosis of the patients.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  2. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 2 years after arthroscopy.

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 2 years after operation

    Measured: 2 years after operation

  3. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 5 years after arthroscopy.

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 5 years after operation

    Measured: 5 years after operation

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2021. 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 China. 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?

The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 1 year after arthroscopy. (time frame: 1 year after operation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Jul 2021.
