Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: To assess whether the use of platelet-rich plasma used as an adjuvant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs modify the rate of re-tears (measured by MRI) compared to a control group that only underwent the isolated arthroscopic repair. Hypothesis: Platelet rich plasma used as an adjuvant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs decrease the rate of retears.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and platelet rich plasma

A standard double-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repair will be performed and at the end of the procedure 10 ml of autologous platelet-rich plasma will be placed under direct vision at the tendon-bone interface.
