NCT03199391

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect postmarket data in subjects who receive surgical treatment of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear (of at least 1.5 cm) with the BioWick™ SureLock™ implant. Both performance and safety data will be collected.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants Not Requiring Removal or Reoperation of the Implant

    The primary endpoint of this study is survivorship (lack of reoperation/device removal) at 12 months postoperative. Implant survivorship for each subject was determined by whether the subject underwent a revision or reoperation of the study device. Survivorship was assessed using a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Possible scores range from 0% (lowest survivorship) to 100% (highest survivorship).

    3 months, 6 months

  • American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Patient Self-Evaluation Score

    Preoperative, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain Score

    Preoperative, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year

  • The Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Item Health Survey Physical Score

    Preoperative, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year

  • The Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Item Health Survey Mental Score

    Preoperative, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year

Study Arms (1)

BioWick SureLock Implant

EXPERIMENTAL

All subjects are part of a single arm. All subjects received the BioWick SureLock implant.

Device: BioWick SureLock Implant

Interventions

The BioWick SureLock implant is a device for shoulder and extremity surgery, constructed of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture. BioWick SureLock is uniquely designed to minimize these risks by avoiding manual tensioning with an inserter mechanism that ensures that the implant is consistently deployed below the cortex.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Clinical diagnosis of rotator cuff tear which is greater than or equal to 1.5 cm and less than or equal to 4.0 cm full thickness of either the supraspinatus or infraspinatus determined by MRI which has not been previously repaired;
  • Goutallier Stage 2 or less;
  • Patte Stage II (mid humeral head retraction);
  • Tear(s) confirmed intra-operatively by calibrated probe, tears measured in both anterior-posterior and medial-lateral planes;
  • Subject is skeletally mature at the surgical site;
  • Subject is able to read and understand the ICF and has voluntarily provided written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinical diagnosis of a rotator cuff tear of the subscapularis that requires repair (not including debridement);
  • Conditions which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, may limit the subject's ability or willingness to follow postoperative care or study instructions;
  • If female, subject is pregnant;
  • Presence of local or systemic infection;
  • Suprascapular nerve compression requiring release or documented by EMG-NCV;
  • Substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drugs which, in the investigator's judgment, could impair healing or influence study compliance;
  • Foreign body sensitivity. If material sensitivity is suspected, testing should be completed prior to device implantation;
  • Insufficient blood supply or previous infection which may hinder the healing process;
  • Subject conditions including: insufficient quantity or quality of bone or soft tissue, or immature bone where the device may impact or disrupt the growth plate;
  • Subject is a prisoner or member of another vulnerable population;
  • Cortisone injection within 6 weeks prior to surgical treatment;
  • Use of immune suppressants or chemotherapeutic medications within the last 12 months;
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids at any daily dose for more than 1 month within the last 12 months.
