Arthroscopic massive Rotator Cuff Tears Repair without using long head of biceps tendon augmentationActive comparatorArthroscopic repair either complete or partial with medialization or not by anchors without using proximal part of long head of biceps tendon) ( single row or double row )(partial or complete anatomical)
Receives: Procedure: Arthroscopic massive rotator cuff repair
Arthroscopic Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Repair With biceps AugmentationExperimental• Single or double row repair technique by Rotator Cuff(RC) anchors. Biceps augmentation will be done via release and mobilize the Long Head of Biceps Tendon from bicipital groove. then the proximal part of long head of biceps tendon will be lateralized towards greater tuberosity crossing the gap by passing 1 limb of the RC anchor using suture passer (scorpion or lasso loop) and the other limb of the same anchor was passed through torn cuff. a horizontal limb of distal part biceps tendon was interpositioned between the Rotator Cuff Tears And humeral head, aiding in biological healing and strengthening poor quality rotator cuff tendons

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional shoulder constant score (assess the change pre operative and post operative during study period completion)

    Assess the change of Constant score of the patients pre operative and during follow up duration of the study on multiple periods (a multi-item functional scale assessing pain, activity of daily living , range of motion and strength of the affected shoulder. Its score ranges from 0 to 100 points, representing worst and best shoulder function, respectively.)

    Measured: 1- preoperative 2- six months post operative 3- one year post operative

  2. Functional shoulder ases score (assess the change preoperative and postoperative during study period completion )

    Assess the change in Ases score pre operative and post operative during study completion on multiple periods ( American shoulder and elbow surgeons standardized form)Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating a worse shoulder condition and 100 indicating a better shoulder condition.

    Measured: 1- preoperative 2- six months post operative 3- one year post operative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Shoulder Pain ( assess the change preoperative and postoperative during the study period completion)

    Asses the change in the visual analog score ( zero equal no pain and 10 equal severest pain ) pre operative and post operative during study period on different periods

    Measured: 1 pre operative 2 two weeks post operative 3 six months post operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arthroscopic massive rotator cuff repair and Arthroscopic massive rotator cuff repair with superior capsular augmentation using the long head of biceps tendon in people with Rotator Cuff Tears, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Functional shoulder constant score (assess the change pre operative and post operative during study period completion) (time frame: 1- preoperative 2- six months post operative 3- one year post operative). The study lists 2 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 24 Jul 2023.
