Subscapularis Repair Augmentation for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Sponsor: Stanford University
Summary
The primary purpose of this research is to compare the images obtained by ultrasound between a standard repair of the subscapularis tissue and after repair with a Biobrace. The secondary purpose is to determine if there are any clinical differences.

BioBrace Augmentation
During shoulder replacement surgery, the subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) is sometimes repaired back again. This will be stitched and augmented with a BioBrace. The Biobrace is a biocomposite scaffold meaning both synthetic and biologic, compared to other traditional implants that are either synthetic or biologic. The stitch in the BioBrace group will be anchored to and reinforced by this material.
Standard Repair with Sutures
During shoulder replacement surgery, the Subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) is sometimes repaired back again. This is usually repaired with stitches per standard of care treatment.
