Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Augmented With Platelet Rich Plasma

Summary

Purpose: To assess whether the use of platelet-rich plasma used as an adjuvant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs modify the rate of re-tears (measured by MRI) compared to a control group that only underwent the isolated arthroscopic repair. Hypothesis: Platelet rich plasma used as an adjuvant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs decrease the rate of retears.
