Summary
Subacromial pain catheters have been used with uncertain efficacy for many years after
rotator cuff repair to aid in postoperative pain control. Our null hypothesis is that
postoperative subacromial continuous infusion bupivacaine catheters will provide no pain
control benefits over placebo infusions or no catheter use.
