Summary

To determine if an acellular dermal graft (ADG) will incorporate into the rotator cuff and subsequently improve outcomes without an increase in risk to the patient

Detailed description

Rotator cuff healing poses a significant clinical problem with re-tear rates between 20-50%. The final functional outcome following surgery correlates with healing, with those that completely heal performing best. Failure of repair is mainly due to tendon failure both mechanically and biologically. If the healing and the structural properties of the tendon can be improved then significant functional gains may be achieved. This study will therefore utilise acellular dermal grafts to determine whether they could be used for to improve patient outcomes following surgery
