Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair Using Umbilical Cord Graft: A Preliminary Observational Study
Author:
Abstract
Due to the high rate of rotator cuff re-tear there is an extensive research on augmentation of rotator cuff repairs. The purpose of this single center, prospective study was to evaluate the results of augmentation of the rotator cuff repair with an umbilical cord allograft. The graft group in which the rotator cuff repair was augmented with the graft as an on-lay patch was consisted of 14 patients, while the control group was consisted of 10 patients. The primary outcome of the study was incidence of rotator cuff retears, while secondary outcomes included functional and pain scores. At 6 mo there was a significantly higher incidence of retears in the control group (30%) compared to the graft group (0%; <i>P</i> = 0.028), while at 12 mo the retear rates were statistically similar for the two groups (<i>P</i> = 0.46). The Constant-Murley scores, the ASES scores and the VAS score were similar (<i>P</i> > 0.05) for the two groups at all study times. The results of the study indicated that augmentation of the cuff repair with human umbilical cord graft can result in similar patient reported outcomes compared to a cuff repair without augmentation, but with a lower re-tear rate at 6 mo.
