Abstract
Abstract: Rotator cuff tears are amongst the most common injuries encountered in orthopedic practice. Failure of rotator cuff repair can result in long-term disability and loss of function. Multiple surgical techniques and treatment strategies exist on how to best maximize surgical outcomes and improve healing rates. A new bio-inductive scaffold implant has been introduced with the aim of improving the biology and tissue quality at the site of rotator cuff repairs. Improving the tissue quality may improve the strength and longevity of the repair. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of the use of this bio-inductive scaffold implant in the setting of rotator cuff repairs.
