Platelet Concentration Does Not Influence Clinical Efficacy and Retear Rates of Rotator Cuff Repair With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis With Meta-Regression
Abstract
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is emerging as a popular augmentation technique in the context of rotator cuff repair (RCR) to strengthen the repair construct and promote healing. Previous studies examining the efficacy of PRP augmentation during RCR have described heterogeneous results.
Purpose: To determine whether platelet concentration of a PRP injection as an adjunct of RCR impacts clinical outcomes and retear rates.
