Summary

This trial will study two accelerated rehabilitation programs for treating full thickness rotator cuff tears. The programs will be compared to see which is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 65 or older with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears that are at least 5 cm wide and involve two or more tendons. They must have tried non-surgical treatments like painkillers, anti-inflammatories, steroid injections, physical therapy, or rest without success. Participants need to be in good health overall, able to walk and take care of themselves post-surgery.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two different accelerated rehabilitation programs after the surgical placement of an InSpace device—a subacromial tissue spacer—during arthroscopy for large rotator cuff tears. It's a randomized trial comparing how patients recover with each program.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the implant site, inflammation around the shoulder area due to the device or surgery itself. There could also be risks associated with anesthesia during surgery.
