Abstract
One of the most common reasons for shoulder aches and incapacity is partial thickness tear of the rotator cuff. The gold standard of treatment is arthroscopic restoration while traditional remedies fail. Even after careful planning and execution of different surgical methods, the retear incidences remain excessive at thirty four–ninety four percentage, as found out through numerous studies. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of PRP injection in the treatment of sufferers with rotator cuff pathology who have failed conservative treatment. This study, done in Swamy Vivekanandha Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Elayampalayam, included 25 patients selected from the outpatient clinics of orthopedic department. The patients were aged below 18 and up to 45 years who had shoulder pain with restriction of overhead activity and pain score greater than 5 on visual analog scale (VAS) in addition to painful arc or impingement signs and were diagnosed by MSUS to have partial rotator cuff tear. The mean age of the study participants was 53 ± 4.3 years and that patient age range was similar across the treatment groups. There were 18 men and 7 women. Seventeen patients hadRC tear in their dominant arm. The patients had either a degenerative RC tear (68%) or a traumatic tear (32%). Out of 25, 15patients were having supraspinatus tear and five patients subscapularis tear and five patients infraspinatus tear. Patients are benefitted lowering ache and improving shoulder function in partial RC tears with ultrasound-guided PRP. Nowadays PRP works on a partially tear RC remains a project and deserves ongoing research
