What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants in the Per Protocol Population With Surgical Treatment Success of the InSpace Device as a Primary Surgical Treatment for Full-thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tears From Baseline to Month 12 With no SSSIs and no SADEs.
The primary composite effectiveness endpoint was defined as achievement of improvement for the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) score (≥275 points) and American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score (≥6.4 points) by week 6 and maintenance at month 12 without subsequent secondary surgical intervention (SSSI) or serious adverse device effects (SADEs).
The improvement of points of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) of at least 275 (point scale of 0-2100:lower score is better) and American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) at least 6.4 (point scale of 0-100:higher score is better) reflect the required number of points in improvement for treatment to be considered successful.
Measured: Baseline to month 12
Secondary outcomes (9)

Measured: Baseline to month 12
Composite Endpoint Component Level Success for ASES at Month 12 Compared to Baseline in the Per Protocol Population (PP)
The secondary endpoint was defined as a composite component-level success for American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons ( ASES) compared at baseline to Month 12 without subsequent secondary surgical intervention (SSSI) or serious adverse device effects (SADEs)..
The total score improvement of (≥ 6.4 points) (scale of 0-100:higher score is better) from baseline in the two groups, InSpace and Partial Repair.
Measured: Baseline to month 12
Mean Change From Baseline to Month 24 in the Intent To Treat (ITT) Population With Available Data With Surgical Treatment Success of the InSpace Device as a Primary Surgical Treatment for Full-thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Through to Month 24. WORC
