A Randomized, Post-market Study Evaluating Dermal Allograft Augmentation of Large and Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Arthrex, Inc.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative healing of large and massive rotator cuff tears with preoperative MRI confirmed fatty infiltration stage II and higher repaired with or without dermal allograft augmentation (DAA).
Description
The primary objective is to evaluate postoperative healing of rotator cuff repair with and without DAA. Primary: The primary outcome measure is healing evaluation in MRI . MRI Post-Operative Assessment (Goutallier Stage and Sugaya Classification) Secondary: The secondary outcome measures are patient-reported outcome measures from validated outcome scoring systems, including: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES) Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score (SANE) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain Veterans RAND Health Survey (VR-12) Population: Males and females between the ag…
