Microfracture at Proximal Humerus Lateral to Footprint Could Enhance the Rotator Cuff Healing
Rotator Cuff Tears, Micro Fracture
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Rotator Cuff Tears focused on measuring rotator cuff tear, microfracture

Participants with medium to larger size rotator cuff tears will be treated with arthroscopy rotator cuff repair with microfracture at the lateral side of the footprint immediately.
Participants with medium to larger size rotator cuff tears will be treated with arthroscopy rotator cuff repair without microfracture.
