Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who require arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for either partial or full thickness tears.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with emotional or neurological conditions that affect their ability to participate, or those who do not meet the specific indications for the REGENETEN implant, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational registry collects real-world data from patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant System. Conducted across up to 50 centers in the UK, Europe, and Australia, the study aims to evaluate patient outcomes following surgery. Up to 400 patients will be enrolled, and their progress will be monitored for up to two years post-surgery to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the REGENETEN implant in improving recovery outcomes for rotator cuff repair patients.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is based on existing techniques, the specific use of the REGENETEN implant in a multicenter registry is relatively novel and aims to gather comprehensive post-market data.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject requires Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR); * Patients aged over 18 years old at the time of consent and providing baseline data before undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery (either partial or full thickness tears) will be eligible for this prospective registry. Exclusion Criteria: * Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, has an emotional or neurological condition that would pre-empt their ability or willingness to participate in the registry including mental illness, intellectual disability, and drug or alcohol abuse. * Subjects who do not meet the indication or are contraindicated according to specific Smith+Nephew REGENETEN System's Instructions for Use (IFUs); * Subject that meets the definition of a Vulnerable Subject per ISO14155:2020 Section 3.44.
