    Research

    Mayo Clinic surgeons and scientists collaborate to develop new solutions that improve rotator cuff healing, speed rehabilitation and improve the outcomes for people experiencing shoulder problems.

    Avenues being explored include:

    • Advanced pain management, utilizing nerve blocks.
    • Biologic augmentation for repair procedures.
    • Innovative tendon transfers for irreparable tears.
    • Subacromial balloon spacer to help treat massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
    • Superior capsular reconstruction.

    Health care teams at the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center in Minnesota investigate sports injury evaluation, treatment and prevention to provide optimal treatment to those involved in sports- or fitness-related activities.
