Cryotherapy Following Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

The purpose of this prospective crossover study is to determine if noninferiority exists in the use of the Thermazone cryotherapy machine when compared to Breg Polarcare, the current standard-of-care cryotherapy machine, for control of pain and reduction in postoperative narcotic medication consumption following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. Specifically, the investigators propose to test the hypothesis that in adults having arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, the Thermazone device is non-inferior to Breg Polarcare on postoperative pain and opioid use over the initial 8 postoperative days.
