What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Success of the Study Devices in the Shoulder Over a Time Period of 6 Months After Intervention

    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

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Success of the Study Devices in the Shoulder Over a Time Period of 12 Months After Intervention

    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

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - Pain

    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.

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  3. Count of Participants With Range of Motion (ROM) Full Functional Arc

    Range of motion defined as the participant having a full functional arc "Yes" or "No" at 6 month and 12 month post-operative visits.

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  4. Range of Motion (ROM)

    Forward flexion angle, internal rotation angle, and external rotation angle captured in degrees based on physician's Standard of Care.

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Soft Tissue to Bone Fixation, run by Smith & Nephew, Inc. at 11 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

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). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
