Full-Thickness Cuff Tears Treated with a Collagen Implant: 1-Year Results of the REBUILD Registry

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the results of a study on a graft option for full thickness rotator cuff tears. The study included 210 patients with an average age of 57 years, mostly men. The patients underwent surgery and had their outcomes measured at various intervals. The results showed statistically significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes, except for the mental component of the VR-12 score. The study found no significant difference in outcomes between different tear sizes, except for a worse preoperative score in large and massive tears. The study had some limitations, such as the lack of a comparison group and no postoperative imaging studies. However, it was considered a large cohort study with a wide geographic application and proved safe with significant improvement at 6 and 12 months. Further studies will be conducted to determine the value of the implant for large and massive tears. No credits or sources were mentioned in the video.
