The Use of a Bio-Inductive Collagen Patch to Supplement Repair of Large and Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Including Revisions: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes at 2-year Follow Up

摘要

Objectives:Failures of large, massive, and revision rotator cuff repairs is a challenging problem within orthopedics. Poor tendon tissue and vascularity are known causes for failure of rotator cuff repairs. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes and healing rates when large and massive rotator cuff repairs are augmented with a bio-inductive collagen scaffold patch.
