Scientific titleA randomized clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of rotator cuff repair with or without augmentation with porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) for large rotator cuff tears: Pilot study phase
Study acronymRESTORE
Study objectivesTo compare the effectiveness of a standardized method of rotator cuff repair with or without augmentation using porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) in patients with large rotator cuff tears.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the McMaster University Research Ethics Board on the 20th June 2003.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRotator cuff tears
Intervention1. Standard open rotator cuff repair
2. Standard open rotator cuff repair augmented with porcine small intestine submucosa (RESTORE patch)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSuccess or failure of the rotator cuff repair. Patients will undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the rotator cuff one year post-operatively to determine whether the defect has healed, and if not healed completely, whether the remaining full thickness defect is greater than 5 mm in any dimension. If such a defect remains, the patient is classified as having failed the repair.
Secondary outcome measures1. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC)
2. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons standardized tool (ASES)
3. The Simple Shoulder Test (SST)
4. The Constant
5. The SF-36

SexBoth
Target number of participants60
Total final enrolment62
Key inclusion criteriaPatients (18 - 65 years old, either sex) with large rotator cuff tears (Type 1B or Type 2) determined by clinical examination and diagnostic imaging. Criteria described by Harryman et al. (1991) will guide the classification of rotator cuff tears defined and reassessed at the time of surgery (Type 0 = intact cuff, Type 1A = thinned cuff or partial thickness defect, Type 1B = full thickness defect on one tendon, Type 2 = full thickness defect of two tendons, Type 3 = full thickness defect of three tendons).
Key exclusion criteria1. Previous shoulder surgery, excluding acromioplasty or diagnostic arthroscopy
2. Inability of the surgeon to repair the tear with remaining defect no greater than 5 mm in diameter
3. Evidence of other significant shoulder pathology including, Type II-IV SLAP lesion, Bankart lesion
4. Active joint or systemic infection
5. Significant muscle paralysis of the shoulder girdle
6. Migration of the humeral head as demonstrated on plain radiograph
7. Major medical illness that would preclude undergoing surgery
8. Patients who are unwilling or unable to be assessed according to study protocol for one year following surgery
9. Major psychiatric illness, developmental handicap or inability to read and understand the English language
