Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear is Cost-Effective in Older, Low-Demand Patients With Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear and Severe Comorbidities

Posted on: 13-Dec-2024

The InSpace subacromial balloon spacer (Stryker, USA) is indicated for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The device is placed in the subacromial space with the aim of restoring shoulder function by limiting painful acromiohumeral contact and recentering the superiorly migrated humeral head. However, controversy exists because two randomized controlled trials have produced conflicting findings with regards to efficacy.

Orchard Orthopedics
The difference is the experience: designed around you, start to finish.

Orchard Orthopedics was built on a simple idea: the way medicine treats injured, active people is broken — long waits, rushed visits, and decisions shaped by insurance instead of what’s right for you. We chose a different model — direct access, unhindered care, and complete honesty about what you need, and what you don’t.

If you're dealing with a shoulder or knee injury, I’d like to help you get back to the life you’ve built.
