Stem Cell Treatment for Regeneration of the Rotator Cuff (Lipo-Cuff Study)
Summary
Treatment of rotator cuff tears with micro-fragmented adipose tissue is a minimal-invasive procedure with the potential to shorten and ease recovery, accelerate return to daily activity and work of thus with a potential capacity to improve the functional result compared to conventional surgery alone. The study will provide evidence whether the addition of micro-fragmented adipose tissue therapy can augment conventional rotator cuff tear treatment. The study will also reveal whether this treatment can be feasible for standard care of patients with rotator cuff tear as it will be simple to standardize. Moreover, besides providing a novel treatment for patients with rotator cuff tears, the project will based on data from muscle biopsies and scanning modalities, generate new knowledge, preparing for precision regenerative medicine in shoulder disease.
