Condition: Massive Rotator Cuff Tears · Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Massive rotator cuff tears are common in the adult population. It is estimated that about 12 % of adults 60 years of age or older suffer from a rotator cuff injury. About 40 % of these injuries are classified as massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT). MRCT propose a great challenge to the affected patient and its doctor. It is a painful condition with few treatment options. The study aims to investigate the operative treatment for MRCT with the new treatment option proposed by Senecovic. Insertion of a biodegradable balloon as a subacromial spacer has proven promising results so far. To this date there is only small and non-randomized studies on the subject. AMRIS are planning to do a randomized controlled study where group A is treated with arthroscopic debridement, biceps tenotomy and biodegradable spacer, while group B, the control group are treated with arthroscopic debridement and biceps tenotomy.
