Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Reimplantation of Subacromial Bursa Tissue and Platelet-Rich Plasma
200 participantsStarted 2026-05
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the biological enhancement of the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with stem cells from the acromial bursa and PRP in individuals who undergo arthroscopic cuff repair The main question it aims to answer is:
Do the stems cells from the acromial bursa and PRP promote healing and produce better results in arthroscopic cuff repair? Researchers will compare this population to three others the first do bnot receive any biological enchancement, the second receive only stem cells and the third receive only PRP to see if there are any differences.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria Adult patients aged ≥18 years. Patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients with a full-thickness, isolated, primary tear of the supraspinatus tendon.
Patients considered eligible for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture anchors.
Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent. Willingness and ability to comply with the study protocol and scheduled follow-up visits.
Exclusion Criteria Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. Massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. Revision rotator cuff repair. Concomitant tears of the subscapularis tendon, infraspinatus tendon, long head of the biceps tendon requiring surgical treatment, or glenoid labrum.
Previous surgery on the affected shoulder. Glenohumeral osteoarthritis or advanced cuff tear arthropathy. Active infection or systemic inflammatory disease affecting the shoulder. Use of other biological augmentation techniques during surgery, such as collagen patch, stem cells, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, or other scaffold-based augmentation.
Inability to provide informed consent. Inability or unwillingness to comply with the postoperative rehabilitation protocol or follow-up schedule.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Functional Outcome Assessed by Constant-Murley Score and ASES Score
Timeframe: The primary outcome measure will be the functional outcome of the shoulder assessed using the Constant-Murley Score and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Both scores are validated instruments ev
