What Is the Rotator Cuff and Why Is It Important?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These structures work together to keep your upper arm bone (humerus) securely in the shoulder socket while allowing a wide range of arm movements — from lifting and rotating to throwing and reaching overhead.

When the rotator cuff is torn or damaged, it can lead to pain, weakness, and a limited ability to perform everyday tasks like dressing, cooking, or even sleeping comfortably. Surgery is often recommended when the tear is large, painful, or hasn’t improved with physical therapy or injections.

How Is Rotator Cuff Surgery Performed?

Rotator cuff repair is commonly performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. Through a few small incisions, the surgeon inserts a camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to visualize the shoulder and repair the torn tendon. This approach allows the surgical team to address damage within the joint while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue.

REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant in Rotator Cuff Repair

when additional soft-tissue support may be beneficial. This collagen-based patch is designed to reinforce the repair site and promote the development of new tendon-like tissue.

Key Features of REGENETEN:

Collagen-Based Bioinductive Patch designed to stimulate new tendon-like tissue growth over the repair site.

Arthroscopically Placed through small incisions using minimally invasive techniques.

Intended to Add Support in partial tears or to reinforce repairs in select full-thickness tears.

Integrates Over Time as the patient’s own tissue grows into and around the implant.

Clinical Evidence on REGENETEN

Published clinical studies have examined how the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant performs when used to support rotator cuff repairs. Research has explored its impact on tendon healing, repair strength, and longer-term outcomes.

Findings From Current Research

Re-Tear Rates in Studies:

Several randomized and observational studies report lower re-tear rates at follow-up when REGENETEN is used to augment repairs, including a 2024 controlled trial measuring outcomes at one year.

Tendon Healing and Tissue Formation:

MRI-based studies show increased tendon thickness and the formation of new tendon-like tissue after surgery, with evidence of integration between the implant and native tissue.

Durability Over Time:

Systematic reviews covering multiple studies indicate durable repair outcomes across both partial- and full-thickness tears over multi-year follow-up periods.
