Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis: The use of cascade platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) on medium and large sized rotator cuff tears will improve patient results versus the control results by 50%.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of PRFM on rotator cuff repairs. Since locally applied platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has shown early promise in enhancing tendon and ligament healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, the investigators believe that locally applied PRFM will enhance the quality of rotator cuff repairs.
