A Study to Evaluate the Mechanical Properties of the Most Common Muscle Involved in Rotator Cuff Tears using Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) Rochester, MN

Our goal is to determine if the stiffness of supraspinatus muscle can be measured non-invasively before surgery, using ultrasound B-mode together with a new ultrasound technique called Shear Wave Elastography (SWE). The hope is that this assessment of muscle stiffness before surgery will help the doctors to plan the best surgical approach.
A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients who underwent a rotator cuff repair.
A Study to Evaluate Operative Versus Non-Operative Treatment for Atraumatic Rotator Cuff Tears Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ

The purpose of this study is to compare pain and function in patients undergoing operative versus non-operative treatment of atraumatic rotator cuff tears at 12 months of follow-up, and to assess effects of rotator cuff tear size and age on comparative outcomes of operative versus non-operative treatments for atraumatic rotator cuff tears.
