Official title
Collagen Scaffold Augmentation of High Grade Partial Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears Improves Early Functional Recovery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Shoulder pain is a common complaint with the most common reason being tendinopathy and/or tearing of the rotator cuff. While many rotator cuff tears are often considered normal, age-related degenerative disorders, with either partial- or full-thickness rotator cuff tears evident in 4% of patients aged \<40 years and in 54% of patients aged \>60 years, once they become symptomatic and conservative management fails, they are typically repaired surgically. Data suggest that the incidence of surgery to repair and re-attach the cuff continues to rise. However, despite positive clinical results overall, reports of repair failure after surgery can range from 16%-94%, and of those that do fail, or fail to heal, generally do so within the first 3 to 6 months post-surgery. Given the aforementioned reported issues with the gold standard for the treatment of unresponsive and symptomatic partial or full rotator cuff tears (surgical repair), together with the invasiveness of this surgery and lengthy period of restricted activity, other means of treatment have been proposed. The REGENETEN scaffold/implant seeks to support new tendon growth and disrupt disease progression. This study seeks to investigate the outcome of surgical rotator cuff repair versus scaffold augmentation (using the REGENETEN scaffold) for symptomatic partial thickness rotator cuff tears.
