MRI Evaluation of Integrity Implant for Rotator Cuff Tears

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Integrity bio-inductive implant in treating partial and full thickness rotator cuff tears. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How does the application of the Integrity implant affect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as ASES, SANE, and PROMIS? * What are the imaging characteristics of the rotator cuff tears at 3 and 6 months postoperatively when using the Integrity implant?

Postoperative MRIs will be obtained from 10 consecutive patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair using the Integrity implant at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Participants include those with partial and full thickness tears treated with different surgical techniques involving the implant. They may receive either isolated onlay use of the graft for partial tears or augmentation of a standard single or double row repair with the graft applied to the superior surface of the repair.

About this study

The aim of this prospective, non-randomized, open-label, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the newly FDA-cleared Integrity graft for various types of rotator cuff repairs. This study incorporates preoperative assessments as well as follow-up assessments at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. The primary objective is to document the safety profile of the Integrity graft by monitoring device-related adverse events throughout the study duration. Additionally, the study aims to assess the post-market effectiveness of the Integrity implant using patient-reported outcome measures and establish normal or standard findings on MRI to aid surgeons in clinical decision-making.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Rotator cuff tear (both partial and full thickness) treated with Integrity bio-inductive implant augmentation to the superior surface of partial rotator cuff tears or the superior aspect of rotator cuff repairs (both single or double row);
  • Subject can read and understand the ICF and has voluntarily provided written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Conditions which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, may limit the subject's ability or willingness to follow post- operative care or study instructions;
  • If patient is pregnant;
  • Subject conditions which may hinder the healing process;
  • Subject is a prisoner or member of another vulnerable population.

Treatment and study plan

Anika Integrity Implant System

Device

The implant is a porous, flexible construct knitted using HYAFF® fibers and designed to support cell infiltration and regenerative healing. HYAFF is Anika's proven and proprietary esterified HA technology that resorbs over time as tissue remodels. Integrity is inherently strong and can be confidently manipulated arthroscopically, which offers a truly unique and differentiated solution for shoulder surgeons to treat rotator cuff tears.

Primary outcomes

  1. MRI Assessment of Adverse Events and Structural Integrity

    Time frame: 3 and 6 months after index procedure

    The primary endpoint of this study is the adverse events rate and structural failure rate of the rotator cuff repair, determined by MRI, at 3 months and 6 months following use of the Anika Integrity implant system.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness Evaluation with PROMIS outcome tool

    Time frame: 3 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating PROMIS scores (assessing various aspects of quality of life in a questionnaire which is scored)

  2. Effectiveness Evaluation with PROMIS tool

    Time frame: 6 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating PROMIS scores (assessing various aspects of quality of life)

  3. Effectiveness Evaluation with SANE score

    Time frame: 3 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating SANE scores: Single assessment numeric rating scale of 0-10 with 0 being NO pain and 10 being worst or severe pain (patients' perceived improvement)

  4. Effectiveness Evaluation with SANE score

    Time frame: 6 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating SANE scores: Single assessment numeric rating scale of 0-10 with 0 being NO pain and 10 being worst or severe pain (patients' perceived improvement)

  5. Effectiveness Evaluation with ASES rating scale

    Time frame: 3 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating ASES rating scale (for shoulder function and pain) ASES is a mixed-outcome reporting tool, meaning it consists of a physician-rated and patient-rated questionnaire. The patient-rated questionnaire focuses on joint pain, instability and activities of daily living.

  6. Effectiveness Evaluation with ASES rating scale

    Time frame: 6 months after index procedure

    The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating ASES rating scale (for shoulder function and pain)ASES is a mixed-outcome reporting tool, meaning it consists of a physician-rated and patient-rated questionnaire. The patient-rated questionnaire focuses on joint pain, instability and activities of daily living.
