Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Brad Bushnell, Chairman of Orthopedics at Harbin Clinic in Georgia, discusses a study on the efficacy and safety of a resorbable bio-inductive bovine collagen implant for cuff repair. The study involved a larger population and compared an isolated bio-inductive repair (IBR) using the implant alone with traditional takedown and repair plus the implant for partial thickness tears. The assessments included various outcome scores and factors such as time for return to work and additional surgery. The results showed that the IBR had better scores in the early timeframe but equalized with takedown and repair at one year. The study concluded that the implant is safe and effective, with potential benefits of IBR over takedown and repair early on. Prior shoulder surgery and biceps tendon procedures did not significantly affect the outcomes.
