Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Clinical Success of the Study Devices in the Shoulder Over a Time Period of 6 Months After Intervention
Time Frame: 6 months

Clinical success was defined as shoulder repairs without signs of device failure and/or re-intervention as assessed by the surgeon. Specifically, clinical success was considered "Yes" based on the following 3 main criteria:

  • no inflammatory or allergic response
  • no device-related adverse event (AE)
  • no device deficiencies (DDs) leading to revision surgery (re intervention) on the index shoulder
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Clinical Success of the Study Devices in the Shoulder Over a Time Period of 12 Months After Intervention
Time Frame: 12 months

Clinical success was defined as shoulder repairs without signs of device failure and/or re-intervention as assessed by the surgeon. Specifically, clinical success was considered "Yes" based on the following 3 main criteria:

  • no inflammatory or allergic response
  • no device-related adverse event (AE)
  • no device deficiencies (DDs) leading to revision surgery (re intervention) on the index shoulder
12 months
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - Pain
Time Frame: 6 and 12 months
The VAS is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line 100 millimeters (mm) in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme. The VAS pain score is presented on a scale ranging from 0 to 10. A score of 0 represents no pain (0 mm) and a score of 10 indicates extreme/unbearable pain (100 mm). The VAS rating was recorded retrospectively, per standard of care at 6 and 12 months post-surgery.
6 and 12 months
Count of Participants With Range of Motion (ROM) Full Functional Arc
Time Frame: 6 and 12 months
Range of motion defined as the participant having a full functional arc "Yes" or "No" at 6 month and 12 month post-operative visits.
6 and 12 months
Range of Motion (ROM)
Time Frame: 6 and 12 months
Forward flexion angle, internal rotation angle, and external rotation angle captured in degrees based on physician's Standard of Care.
6 and 12 months
