Arthroscopic Transosseous vs. Anchored Rotator Cuff Repair
Arthroscopic Transosseous vs. Anchored Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Study Design: After the decision to proceed with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, patients will be asked to participate in this prospective randomized clinical trial.
Study Procedures:
Before Surgery: The Informed Consent process will be completed prior to any data collection. Consent will be completed after explanation of each treatment group and the data to be collected. Baseline and demographic data will be collected prior to surgery:
Randomization: Subjects will be randomized prior to surgery into one of the two rotator cuff repair technique groups using REDCap software. Randomization will be stratified by gender.
Patient Visits:
Patients will complete their questionnaires and testing before surgery then within 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years After the first week of surgery, patients will be given a pain diary to record all narcotic pain medications they consume during the 1st week post-op.
An ultrasound will be done during their 6 month, 1 year, and 2 year follow up.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Tensor Tunnler
The Tensor Tunneler (Chattanooga, TN) will be used to create the bone tunnels during the arthroscopic procedure.
This is an FDA approved device and is used currently in routine clinical practice.
|
Create the bone tunnels during the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair procedure
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Smith and Nephew PEEK Helicoil Anchor
The anchors used in this trial are FDA approved and are used currently in routine clinical practice (Anchor Rotator Cuff Repair).
|
The suture anchors (Smith and Nephew PEEK Helicoil Anchor) are inserted in bone and the sutures are then used to sew the tendons to bone arthroscopically.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in condition of the shoulder as assessed by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) Score
Time Frame: Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
10 separate questions is scored on an ordinal scale from 0-3 for a maximal raw functional score of 30 (no difficulties).
|
Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in shoulder pain as assessed by Visual Analog Pain Score
Time Frame: Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Patients are asked to identify whether they are having pain in the shoulder and are asked to record the location of their pain on a 10 cm line that ranges from 0(no pain at all) to 10 (pain as bad as it can be)
|
Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Change in Range of Motion (ROM)
Time Frame: Before surgery, within 1 month after surgery, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year
|
Total (combined glenohumeral and scapulothoracic) shoulder motion is measured.
Both active and passive motion for both shoulders is recorded.
Forward elevation is measured as the maximum arm-trunk angle viewed from any direction.
External rotation is measured with the arm comfortably at the side and also with the arm at 90° of abduction.
Internal rotation is measured by noting the highest segment of spinal anatomy reached with the thumb.
Cross-body adduction is measured by measuring the distance of the antecubital fossa from the opposite acromion.
|
Before surgery, within 1 month after surgery, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year
|
Change in Strength Testing
Time Frame: Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Strength is graded according to the Medical Research Council grade.
Strength is measured in forward elevation, abduction, external rotation with the arm comfortably at the side, and internal rotation with the arm comfortably at the side.
A perfect score is a 5 in each category.
|
Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Change in quality of life as assessed by the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) Index
Time Frame: Before surgery, 1 year after surgery, 2 years after surgery
|
Quality of Life Measurement tool for patients with rotator cuff disease where patients mark a line on 21 visual analogue scale (VAS) lines labeled 0 (not affected) - 100 (affected).
These items will ask about physical symptoms, sports and recreation, work, social function, and emotions.
The maximum score is 2100 for worst possible symptoms and 0 represents no symptoms at all.
|
Before surgery, 1 year after surgery, 2 years after surgery
|
Change in health related quality of life as assessed by Short-Form Six-Dimension (SF-6D)
Time Frame: Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Measures of health related quality of life (HRQoL) using 11 items from the SF-36 or SF-12.
Patients are asked about their physical functioning, role limitations, social functioning, pain, mental health, and vitality.
A score of 1 represents full health.
|
Before surgery, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
|
Implant Cost
Time Frame: Within 1 month after surgery
|
Review of costs through our billing department
|
Within 1 month after surgery
