View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare a novel, cost-effective arthroscopic trans-osseous rotator cuff repair technique, known as the 'Grand-Knot' technique, against the standard repair using all-suture anchors. The study evaluates which method provides better functional recovery and structural healing for patients with full-thickness supraspinatus tears. Patients were randomized to receive either the Grand-Knot repair or the standard anchor repair and were followed for a minimum of 2.5 years to assess shoulder function using the ASES score, range of motion, and tendon integrity."
