The overall objective of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and efficacy of full-thickness arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs augmented with the FiberLocker System for the subjects. The primary outcome of the investigation is to assess the safety after full-thickness arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs augmented with the FiberLocker System in terms of postoperative adverse events through the 12-month follow-up. Main secondary outcomes include measures of efficacy and clinical performance evaluated at 6-week, 4.5-month, and 12-month follow-ups including retear rate assessed using MRI and different functional performance scores.

| FiberLocker® System (encompassing SpeedPatch® PET and FiberLocker Instrument® SN) | Device | The FiberLocker® System is a mechanical augmentation system that includes an implant (SpeedPatch® PET) and an instrument (FiberLocker® Instrument SN) for its attachment. The implant is composed of non-woven PET fibers, and the instrument features a reciprocating needle at its tip, which pushes the individual patch fibers into the underlying tendon tissue |

| Number of SAE related to Device | The operative and postoperative SAEs that are related to the device will be reported. Safety outcomes will be determined by evaluating the type and frequency for all subjects. | Surgery to 12-month follow-up |
| Number of AE related to Procedure | The operative and postoperative AEs that are related to the procedure will be reported. Safety outcomes will be determined by evaluating the type and frequency for all subjects. | Surgery to 12-month follow-up |
| Number of SAE related to Procedure | The operative and postoperative SAEs that are related to the procedure will be reported. Safety outcomes will be determined by evaluating the type and frequency for all subjects. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Retear Rate | Retears are defined as repairs showing structural defect of the tendon bone-interface on MRI according to type IV or V of the Sugaya classification. Cuff integrity according to the Sugaya classification is defined as follows: type I (repaired cuff of sufficientthickness, homogeneously low signal intensity), type II (sufficient thickness, partial high-signal intensity area), type III (insufficient thickness without discontinuity), type IV (minor discontinuity in 1 section, suggestive of a small tear), type V (major discontinuity in each image, suggestive of a medium-to-large tear). |

| Surgery to 12-month follow-up |
| 6-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Constant-Murley Score | The Constant score will be calculated in a 100-point scale and compared with baseline. It will be measured with a patient-reported questionnaire & medical professional assessment at baseline and 12-month follow-up visit. A higher score indicates better function. | Baseline and 12-month follow-up |
| Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS) | The VAS score will be calculated in a 0 to 10 scale and compared with baseline. Thereby, a higher score indicates greater pain intensity. VAS for average pain score over the last 24 hours will be assessed with a questionnaire. | Baseline, 2-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) Score | The SSV score is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess a patient's perception of their shoulder function. It consists of a single question and each subject has to rate their shoulder function on a scale from 0% to 100%. Thereby, higher percentages indicates better shoulder function. | Baseline, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| EQ-5D-5L survey | The EQ-5D-5L survey is a patient-reported outcome and consists of 2 parts: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ-5D descriptive system covers five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The EQ VAS is the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale (0-100), whereas a higher score represents better health. | Baseline, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score | The ASES score is a patient-reported outcome measure survey which is completed by all subjects. It is used to assess shoulder function and pain. Based on the answers, a final score between 0 and 100 can be achieved. Thereby, higher scores indicate better shoulder function and less pain. | Baseline, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Sugaya Classification | The Sugaya Classification based on MRI images is used to evaluate the integrity of a repaired rotator cuff and to assess healing outcomes after a repair. The classification uses a categorial scoring system with grades from Type I to Type V.
| 6-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Goutallier Classification | The Goutallier Classification is evaluated using MRI images to assess fatty infiltration and muscle degeneration in the rotator cuff. It has a categorial grading system from stage 0 to 4. Based on MRI images, the rotator cuff of each subject will be classified. Thereby, a higher classification means more fatty infiltration. | Baseline, 6-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Tendon Thickness | Tendon thickness of the affected rotator cuff tendon will be measured in a MRI images (in mm). | Baseline, 6-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
| Fat Fraction of Muscle | Fat fraction of muscle quantified in Dixon sequence will be evaluated on the MRI images. Accordingly, the range can be from 0% to 100%. A higher percentage indicates more fatty infiltration. | Baseline, 6-week, 4.5-month and 12-month follow-up |
