Summary

* The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and anatomical outcomes of rotator cuff repair with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and conventional rotator cuff repair in treatment of medium to large rotator cuff tears.
* PRP application to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair would accelerate recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in terms of pain relief, functional outcomes, overall satisfaction, and enhance structural integrity of repaired tendon.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Conventional arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

* Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lazy lateral decubitus position on the operating table. * The surgical area was prepared and draped with Betadine. * Small stab incisions were made in the creation of 4-5 portals as needed. * A scope was explored via the arthroscopic portal into the GH joint \& subacromial space. * Repair of full thickness rotator cuff tear was done with suture anchors. * The skin was closed with Nylon or medical staples. * Sterile dressing was applied on surgical wound.
