Purpose To systematically review the literature to evaluate the clinical studies on bioinductive collagen implant (BCI) for the treatment of rotator cuff tears.
1531 patients with rotator cuff tears from 21 studies
Rotator cuff repair with BCI augmentation
Patient reported outcomes
- Improved pain and function
Tendon thickness
- Increased
Retear rates
- 0-9% for full thickness tears
- 0-18% for partial thickness tears
Cost-savings
- Cost-effective due to increased tendor healing
Conclusion Rotator cuff tear augmentation with BCI shows improved patient reported outcomes, low retear rates and some risk of adhesive capsulitis.
