Achilles tendon repair study with new implant
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new implant called REGENETEN that may help your Achilles tendon heal better after surgery. It is for people with either a recent tear in the middle of the tendon or long-term pain at the heel where the tendon attaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a specific implant (the REGENETEN bioinductive implant) helps heal severe partial-thickness rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. You might benefit if you have a high-grade tear that didn’t improve after months of physical therapy.
This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a painful Achilles tendon where it attaches to the heel bone. The goal is to see if one method gives better results, and you would need to be willing to have surgery and follow a rehab plan.
This trial tests whether using a special collagen membrane helps improve healing when repairing a torn rotator cuff tendon. It is for people who have a tear in the upper part of the rotator cuff and are having surgery to fix it.
This trial tests whether adding electrical stimulation to standard care helps people recover from a recent Achilles tendon rupture. It may improve healing and strength after the injury.
