| One of the most common reasons for shoulder aches and incapacity is partial thickness tear of the rotator cuff. It is gold
standard for treatment is arthroscopic restoration while traditional remedy fails. Even if the surgical method has been
continually stepped forward, the retear fee remains excessive at thirty four–ninety four percentages, as discovered through
numerous studies. The aim of study efficacy and verify the safety of PRP injection within the treatment of sufferers with
rotator cuff pathology who have failed conservative treatment. This study was done in Chettinad Hospital and Research
Institute (CHRI) included 25 patients recruited from the outpatient clinics of orthopedic department.This study included all
patients aged below 18 and upto 45 years who had shoulder pain with 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 13 men and 7 women, and sex was also distributed similarly across the treatment groups.
Seventeen patients had RC tear in their dominant arm. Every one of patients had either a degenerative RC tear (68%) or a
traumatic tear (32%).Out of 25,15patients were having supraspinatus tear and five patient was having subscapularis tear
and five patients with infra spinatus tear. Benefit for 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 researchddd |
