Application of PRP for augmentation of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Arthroscopic Repair of Medium to Large Rotator Cuff Tears: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Sep;43(9):2102-1074 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomized to undergo the procedure with or without the application of platelet-rich plasma during surgery. Outcomes included functional scores and pain scores, along with imaging of repair integrity and cross-sectional area of the supraspinatus muscle. Follow-up was performed for over 1 year postoperatively. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in patient-reported functional outcomes or pain values. However, a significantly lower retear rate was observed in the PRP group compared to the control group.
