About This Rotator Cuff Tears Study in Detroit

The purpose of this randomized-controlled study is to compare outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair augmented with a Bioinductive Implant (study group) to standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (control group). The primary outcome of this study is rotator cuff repair integrity (absence of full- or partial-thickness defect) demonstrated on ultrasound at 1-year postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that the study group will have higher rates of repair integrity demonstrated on ultrasound at 1-year postoperatively.
