Conditions
Rotator Cuff Tear
Type
Interventional
Phase
Phase 4
Design
Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: 130 participants with rotator cuff tear will be classified into two group. One group (PDRN) will be injected at the repaired cuff with 3cc polydeoxyribonucleotide just after surgery and be injected with another 3cc polydeoxyribonucleotide under ultrasound guidance 2 weeks after the surgery. The other group (CONTROL) will be injected with 3ml normal saline in the same manner.Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: 130 participants with rotator cuff tear will be randomly assigned to PDRN or CONTROL depending on the injection material. Randomization will be performed with a computerized random-sequence generator by an independent nurse.Primary Purpose: Treatment

Participation Requirements

Polydeoxyribonucleotide is a tissue regeneration activator. It binds an adenosine receptor and stimulate VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor) synthesis and stimulate collagen synthesis. Nowadays, a lot of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs are being performed. but the failure rate of rotator cuff repair is considerably high. Therefore, this study is to evaluate the effect of polydeoxyribonucleotide for healing and fatty degeneration of rotator cuff. Visual analog scale (VAS) of pain and other functional scores of the two group will be checked preoperatively and postoperative 3, 6, 12, 24 months. Growth factors (VEGF, fibroblast growth factor(FGF), insulin like growth factor(IGF)) will be checked preoperatively and postoperative 1h, 2 days, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3, 6 months. Follow up MRI will be checked at postoperative 6 months. The parameters will be compared using statistical analysis.
