We conclude that in this initial cohort, arthroscopic implantation of InSpace™ system represented an effective alternative to the existing arthroscopic procedures in patients with painful massive RCT refractory to conservative management. Further randomized controlled trials comparing the clinical and functional outcomes after implantation of the InSpace™ device are warranted.

Fixation with strong trans-osseous sutures is stronger than fixation with a cannulated screw and washer on cadaveric knees. It appears that fixation with strong trans-osseous sutures allows immediate mobilisation and weight bearing like fixation with a cannulated screw and washer. Meanwhile, the time for fixation with trans-osseous sutures is significantly longer.
