Platelet rich plasma reduced retear rates in large rotator cuff repairs .
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 large to massive rotator cuff tears: a randomized, single-blind, parallel-group trial
Am J Sports Med. 2013 Oct;41(10):2240-848 patients with large to massive rotator cuff tears and who underwent surgical repair were included in this study to determine whether platelet rich plasma (PRP) can be integrated into operational procedures as a method of reducing retears. Patients underwent arthroscopic repair using a suture bridge technique whenever possible with or without the addition of PRP. Retear rates were reduced with PRP, yet this had no effect on clinical or functional outcomes in patients at one year.
