The clinical impact of re-tears after repair of posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The clinical impact of re-tears after repair of posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The aim of this review and meta-analysis is to assess recent clinical trials concerning the combination of operative treatment of rotator cuff tears and the administration of PRP and its effect on clinical scores and postoperative retear rates. The trials were used to compare the combination of PRP treatment and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to arthroscopy alone.
