Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of platelet rich plasma combined with exercise therapy for patients with partial thickness rotator cuff tears.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to exam the outcome of rotator cuff tear patients who received platelet rich plasma injection followed by rehabilitative exercise. The specific aim of this study is to determine the outcomes of treatment of partial thickness rotator cuff tears with platelet rich plasma (PRP) and rehabilitative exercise. Subjects with partial thickness rotator cuff tears will be designated to receive an injection of PRP or hyaluronic acid, followed by rehabilitative exercise. Shoulder function and tendon healing will be evaluated using the patient surveys as well as ultrasound. Subjects will be followed for 3 months to determine the outcomes of the treatment.

The hypothesis is that there is no difference in healing rate or functional outcomes in patients treated with PRP injections plus rehabilitative exercise compared with hyaluronic acid injection plus rehabilitative exercise for the treatment of partial thickness rotator cuff tears. ;
