About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Two-arm, Prospective, Subject Blind Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of InSpace™ Device in Comparison to Full Thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Repair in Subjects Scheduled for a Repair Surgery.
This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tear .
Read the detailed description
This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tear .
The effectiveness will be assessed by comparing the shoulder outcome scores of each treatment arm ( ASES, Constant and Quick DASH) from pre-operation (baseline) up to 2 years post-operation, with respect to pain reduction, improvement of activity of daily living (ADL) and improvement of range of motion (ROM).
The safety will be asses by comparing the Adverse event rate between the treatment arms.
- Conditions
- Full-thickness Rotator Cuff Tear
- Being tested
- Best Repair of torn Rotator Cuff, InSpace™ system
- Keywords
- Full-thickness/Massive Rotator Cuff Tear, Sub-acromial spacer

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Best Repair of torn Rotator Cuff | Sham comparator | Subjects will undergo surgical intervention (usually arthroscopy) to perform debridement, acromioplasty if deemed necessary, long head of biceps tenotomy, and at least partial repair. Receives: Procedure: Best Repair of torn Rotator Cuff |
| InSpace™ system | Active comparator | Subjects will undergo surgical intervention (usually arthroscopy or mini invasive) of debridement, acromioplasty if deemed necessary with or without long head of biceps tenotomy, and placement of the InSpace™ system. Receives: Device: InSpace™ system |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
