Table 1.

Indications and Contraindications for Use of Bioinductive Implant for Management of Rotator Cuff Defects After Calcific Tendinopathy Debridement

Indications

Low-, medium-, or high-grade symptomatic rotator cuff tissue defects

Younger, active patients

Contraindications to prolonged shoulder immobilization (i.e., adhesive capsulitis)

Defects that would otherwise require medialization of the rotator cuff to repair

Patients with poor tissue quality (i.e., smokers and diabetic patients)

Contraindications

Full-thickness tissue defects that require rotator cuff spanning

Far medial or musculotendinous defects that will not allow for the implant to be secured laterally

Irreparable rotator cuff tears
