Summary

This trial evaluates the safety and performance of three types of suture anchors (REGENESORB, Knotless REGENESORB, and Knotless PEEK) used to reattach soft tissue to bone in the shoulder or hip. About 300 people needing repair for labral tears, shoulder instability, or rotator cuff tears are enrolled. Researchers track how often repairs fail within 6 and 12 months, using MRI or CT scans to confirm any issues.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MICRORAPTOR REGENESORB, Knotless REGENESORB, and Knotless PEEK suture anchors
What this could lead to
If successful, these anchors could offer a reliable option for repairing torn labrums and stabilizing shoulders and hips, potentially reducing re-tear rates.
What could go wrong
This is a post-market study confirming safety in real-world use, not a test of a new breakthrough. Repair failure or complications like infection or anchor loosening are possible.
