PRP does not affect clinical outcome of acromioplasty in rotator cuff tendinopathy .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
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 Injection With Arthroscopic Acromioplasty for Chronic Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Dec;43(12):2891-760 patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy (subacromial impingement or partial thickness tear) were randomized to receive arthroscopic acromioplasty with or without an additional injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to assess whether PRP injection affected clinical outcomes and histological tissue characteristics. The results displayed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of Oxford Shoulder Scores, VAS pain, satisfaction, or quality of life at 2 years postoperatively. The patients treated with PRP displayed decreased numbers of blood vessels and tendon cellularity, with increased expression of p53 (apoptosis marker), in the tendon biopsy. Bonar scoring displayed no significant changes in tissue structure between groups.
