Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate bioinduction of new tissue and tendon healing after implantation of the Rotation Medical Bioinductive Implant used as adjunct to surgical repair in the treatment of insertional Achilles tendonitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study conducted under a common protocol designed to evaluate long-term outcomes following open treatment and implantation of the Rotation Medical Bioinductive Implant to treat insertional Achilles tendinopathy.

Up to 20 subjects will be enrolled and treated with the Rotation Medical Bioinductive Implant.

Enrollment is anticipated to take up to 12 months and all subjects will be followed for two years after surgery. Therefore, the overall study duration is estimated to be 36 months.
