Smith+Nephew released new randomized control trial (RCT) data confirming significant outcome improvements for patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears treated with the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant in isolation.
Compared with a traditional suture anchor repair, early recovery time was halved for patients returning to daily activities such as:
- Driving: 2.3 vs 5.1 weeks
- Office work: 1.7 vs 3.6 weeks
- Moderate-intensity household chores: 3.8 vs 8.4 weeks
The study also concluded that REGENETEN implant patients enjoyed a better quality of life at 6 weeks and 3 months, and high rates of tendon healing at 1 year, comparable to suture anchor-based repairs. This is the third RCT demonstrating that the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant improves outcomes versus traditional rotator cuff repair techniques.
The collagen-based implant supports the body’s natural healing response to facilitate the formation of new tissue to biologically augment repairs.
