Rotation Medical initiated a multicenter, post-market clinical study evaluating the use of the Rotation Medical rotator cuff system in treating supraspinatus rotator cuff tendon tears.
Patients will undergo an MRI to assess postoperative changes in tendon thickness, tendon quality and tear size, after implantation of the bioinductive implant. Researchers will also evaluate shoulder function. The study will be conducted with leading orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons across the United States, including Ted Schlegel, MD, of Vail, Colo.-based Steadman Clinic and Jeffrey Abrams, MD, of Princeton (N.J.) Orthopaedic Associates.
