Management of Rotator Cuff Defects After Calcific Tendinopathy Debridement Using a Bioinductive Collagen Implant
The management of rotator cuff defects after arthroscopic debridement for calcific tendinitis can be a challenge for physicians. To date, treatment options have included debridement alone, in situ repairs of the tendon, or full-thickness takedown and repair. Each option, however, has been fraught wi...

Summary: | The management of rotator cuff defects after arthroscopic debridement for calcific tendinitis can be a challenge for physicians. To date, treatment options have included debridement alone, in situ repairs of the tendon, or full-thickness takedown and repair. Each option, however, has been fraught with its own pitfalls and limitations. We propose a technique for the management of rotator cuff defects through the application of a bioinductive collagen implant that may allow for rapid tissue incorporation and regeneration. |
