The rotator cuff refers to a group of four muscles, with tendons connected to the upper arm bone, which act together to allow lifting and rotating the shoulder. A tear of the rotator cuff can affect either a single tendon or multiple tendons. Typical first-line treatment includes conservative therapies, which aim to alleviate pain and reduce functional impairment, but are often ineffective. Persisting disease is usually managed through conventional surgical repair. Recently, REGENETEN, a collagen-based bioinductive implant derived from purified bovine Achilles tendon, positioned over the site of the damaged rotator cuff, achieved successful rotator cuff tendon repair with an increase in healed tears of 17.80% at 1 year compared to conventional surgery. Considering the National Healthcare Service perspective in Italy, the cost needed to achieve one additional healed tear using REGENETEN compared to conventional surgery is 17,857. From the societal perspective, which includes patients' productivity losses from hospital admission to return to work, the use of REGENETEN may be cost-saving compared to conventional surgery. The findings of our study provide evidence for clinicians and payers to support the value of a new treatment option for patients with rotator cuff lesions.
