Repeated Injections of Adipose-derived Stem Cells in Rotator Cuff Tears

The aim of the project is to investigate whether repeated implantations of micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT), into the shoulder muscle can improve the outcome of standard surgical treatment for rotator cuff tears (RCT). The investigators hypothesize that combining surgery with repeated implantations of micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) into the muscle provides a more effective treatment for patients with rotator cuff tears compared to standard surgical treatment. The result would be better outcomes such as improved shoulder functioning and reduced pain.
