Comparing shoulder surgery techniques using ultrasound

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of standard subscapularis tissue repair versus repair augmented with a Biobrace during total shoulder arthroplasty. The primary focus is on evaluating the images obtained through ultrasound to assess the quality of the repairs. Additionally, the study will investigate any clinical differences that may arise from using the Biobrace augmentation. The findings could lead to improved surgical techniques and better patient outcomes in shoulder surgeries.
