InSpace™ System Over Rotator Cuff Repair in Comparison to Repair Alone.

August 21, 2018 updated by: OrthoSpace Ltd.

A Randomized, Two-arm, Prospective Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of InSpace™ Device Implanted Over a Rotator Cuff Repair in Comparison With Rotator Cuff Repair Only

This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ in the study population in comparison to surgical RCT repair.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The effectiveness will be assessed by comparing the scores of the ASES, Constant and Quick DASH outcome questionnaires with respect to pain reduction, improvement of activity of daily living (ADL) and improvement of range of motion (ROM).

Description

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 40 or older.
  • Positive diagnostic MRI of the affected shoulder indicating full thickness large to massive RCT of at least 3cm in diameter (according to Cofield classification2) involving one or more tendons. (MRI can be done up to 6 months prior to randomization.)
  • Persistent pain and functional disability of the affected shoulder for at least 3 months.

Main Exclusion Criteria :

  • Known allergy to the balloon material (copolymer of PLA and -θ-caprolactone).
  • Evidence of significant osteoarthritis or cartilage damage in the shoulder
  • Evidence of gleno-humeral instability
  • Previous surgery of the shoulder in the past 2 years, excluding diagnostic arthroscopy
  • Evidence of major joint trauma, infection, or necrosis in the shoulder
  • Partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Sham Comparator: Best Repair of torn Rotator Cuff
Subjects will undergo surgical intervention (usually arthroscopy) to perform debridement, acromioplasty if deemed necessary, long head of biceps tenotomy, and at least partial repair.
Active Comparator: InSpace™ system
Subjects will undergo surgical intervention (usually arthroscopy) to perform debridement, acromioplasty if deemed necessary, long head of biceps tenotomy, and at least partial repair, and placement of the InSpace™ system.
