Duration of Immobilization After Rotator Cuff Repair: Its Clinical Impact
Completed
- Conditions
- Rotator Cuff Tear
- Registration Number
- NCT00891566
- Lead Sponsor
- Samsung Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the immobilization period is helpful for the better healing of repaired rotator cuff.
The investigators hypothesis is that the longer immobilization after rotator cuff repair will help the healing of rotator cuff.
