Abstract

Among causes of shoulder pain, rotator cuff disorders viz tendinitis, tears, impingement are very common. In this study we evaluate the efficacy of new treatment of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injection in selected patients. This study was conducted in twenty patients having rotator cuff pathology allocated for intra articular injection of PRP in shoulder joint through posterior approach under local anaesthesia. All patients assessed pre-operative and post-operative period by using Constant Shoulder Scores. In our study a single injection of PRP resulted in a safe, significant, sustained improvement in pain and functional outcomes for patients with refractory partial Rotator Cuff Tear (RCT) that is statistically significant.
