This is a prospective randomized study comparing the outcomes of patient undergoing rotator cuff repair with either an interpositional procedure administering demineralized bone matrix (DBM), or a control group without demineralized bone matrix. Patient outcomes will be collected and compared between the two cohorts up to a five (5) year post-operative period and will include a range of subjective and functional outcomes, along with radiographic imaging.
Patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery will experience improved tendon healing with the use of demineralized bone matrix augmentation.
