Function, strength, and retear rate do not differ between PRP- and non-augmented rotator cuff repair
J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2018 Sep;27(9):1553-1563. doi: 10.1016/j.jse.2018.05.003

72 patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear and scheduled for arthroscopic double-row repair were randomized to have their surgery either augmented or not augmented with sutured platelet-rich plasma in a fibrin matrix (PRPFM). Patients were followed up at 6 months for retear rate on MRI, and at 6 and 24 months for outcomes related to patient reported function and shoulder strength. No significant differences between groups in any outcome measured were obtained.
