Can Bio inductive Collagen Implants Replace Suture Anchors in Rotator Cuff Repairs?

Featured in - Healio Orthopedics

Dated: May 30, 2025

A recent study presented at the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting found that bioinductive collagen implants produced similar outcomes to traditional suture anchors in full-thickness rotator cuff repairs.

Key takeaways:

  • No difference in healing: MRI results showed comparable tendon healing in both groups.
  • Equal function and pain relief: Patients reported similar improvements in range of motion and pain reduction after 2 years.
  • Minimally invasive option: The implant technique may reduce surgical trauma and recovery time.

Why it matters:
These findings suggest bioinductive implants could be a viable alternative to conventional methods, offering surgeons more flexibility and patients a potentially less invasive recovery.
