Sponsor's own description
The increase of the population life expectancy and the active lifestyle adopted in recent years have contributed to the higher incidence of rotator cuff injuries. For large (\>3 cm) and extensive (\>5 cm) injuries of the rotator cuff, even after complete or partial repair, the chances of failure reach 94%. An alternative in rotator cuff injuries is the use of the long head of the biceps (LHB) as an autologous graft to increase the healing rate and the final outcomes. The primary objective is to compare the functional results, according to the ASES score, between patients who use or not the long head biceps brace for complete repairs of large and extensive rotator cuff tears. The secondary objectives are to compare the groups according to structural results by MRI and functional results by the UCLA score.
