Long-Term Follow-up of Arthroscopic Biceps Tenotomy and Subacromial Decompression in Chronic Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
An observational study of Rotator Cuff Tears, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Chronic massive rotator cuff tears (MMRCTs) are a significant orthopedic challenge, often leading to significant shoulder pain and functional impairment. While surgical intervention is a common treatment approach, long-term outcomes and the optimal surgical technique remain debatable. Read more about this study

Study population: From Oct 2018 to Jan 2021, 23 patients who had chronic massive RCTs received arthroscopic management for their RCTs and were followed as short-term follow-up for 3 months after surgery. Then, patients were asked to attend the Orthopedic outpatient clinic every three months for assessment to get the outcomes of the long-term follow-up. The preoperative, operative, immediate postoperative, and short-term follow-up data were collected from patients' files.
Who may be able to join
- Patient who had arthroscopic debridement with subacromial decompression and biceps tenotomy without rotator cuff repair for chronic massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Who cannot join
- Patient who hadn't met the requirements for arthroscopic debridement with subacromial decompression and biceps tenotomy without rotator cuff repair for chronic massive Rotator Cuff Tears

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Arthroscopic Debridement, Subacromial Decompression, and Biceps Tenotomy Without Repair of Rotator Cuff in Chronic Massive Rotator Cuff Tear
Chronic massive rotator cuff tears (MMRCTs) are a significant orthopedic challenge, often leading to significant shoulder pain and functional impairment. While surgical intervention is a common treatment approach, long-term outcomes and the optimal surgical technique remain debatable. Arthroscopic debridement, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenotomy are frequently employed procedures, but their long-term effectiveness in managing MMRCTs is not fully understood. A comprehensive understanding of the long-term outcomes of these procedures is crucial for guiding clinical decision-making and patient counseling.
The study aims to evaluate the long-term clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic debridement, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenotomy in patients with chronic massive rotator cuff tears. By analyzing a cohort of patients who underwent these procedures, we will assess factors influencing long-term outcomes, such as patient demographics, preoperative functional status, and surgical technique. Furthermore, we will compare the long-term results of this surgical approach to other treatment modalities, including open repair and conservative management.
