Device: InSpace™ system
Registration Number
NCT02208440
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tear .

Detailed Description

This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tear .

The effectiveness will be assessed by comparing the shoulder outcome scores of each treatment arm ( ASES, Constant and Quick DASH) from pre-operation (baseline) up to 2 years post-operation, with respect to pain reduction, improvement of activity of daily living (ADL) and improvement of range of motion (ROM).

The safety will be asses by comparing the Adverse event rate between the treatment arms.
