Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Oxford Shoulder Score (Questionnaire)

    The Oxford Shoulder Score used after 3 months is the primary parameter. The Score tests the ability to participate in the patients' normal life before they got injured.

    3mo

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • VAS Pain Scoring Tool

    10d

  • QuickDASH Questionnaire (Short version of Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire)

    3/6/24mo

  • EQ-5D Questionnaire

    3/6/24 mo

  • ROM (degrees)

    3/6/24mo

  • Measurement of the abduction strength (Kilograms)

    3/6/24 mo

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Patch and ACP Treatment

Patents who get an patch augmentation and ACP injection following an arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff.

Device: Patch Augmentation and ACP injection

Interventions

Patch augmentation and 4mL autologous conditioned plasma application under the footprint following an arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff.

Also known as: ACP, DX Reinforcement Matrix

  • Suture bridge technique
  • Women: No longer of childbearing age (at menopause and last menstrual period more than 12 months, prevented surgically Ovaries and/or uterus removed surgically)
  • Signed consent form

You may not qualify if:

  • Partial reconstruction of the rotator cuff (PASTA)
  • Open reconstruction
  • Tendon transfer (latissimus dorsi or pectoralis major)
  • Revision surgery
  • Omarthrosis (Level ≥ 2 Samilson \& Prieto)
  • Systemic arthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Diabetes (insulin treated)
  • Requiring surgery in reconstruction of the subscapularis tendon
  • Acute or chronic infection
  • Pathological bone metabolism
  • Insufficient perfusion in the affected arm
  • Neuromuscular disease in the affected arm
  • Non compliance of the patient
  • Disorders which handicap or inhibit the patient to follow the orders of the clinical testers
