In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective, single-arm interventional study will evaluate the effects of long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) transposition without tenotomy as an augmentation technique for arthroscopic partial repair in adults with massive rotator cuff tears. Consecutive eligible patients undergoing arthroscopic partial rotator cuff repair plus tenotomy-sparing LHBT transposition augmentation at Balikesir City Hospital (Balikesir, Turkiye) will be enrolled and followed for 12 months. Patient-reported outcomes and clinical assessments will be collected preoperatively (baseline) and postoperatively at 3 and 12 months. The primary outcomes are shoulder function (ASES), rotator cuff-related quality of life (WORC converted to a 0-100 scale), and sleep disturbance (Insomnia Severity Index). Secondary outcomes include active shoulder range of motion and biceps-related clinical findings (Speed test, Yer
