Background: The treatment of symptomatic partial rotator cuff tear has presented substantial challenge to orthopaedic surgeons as it can vary from conservative to surgical repair. Researches have established the influence of platelet rich plasma in healing damaged tissue. Currently very few data are available regarding the evidence of clinical and radiological outcome of partial rotator cuff tear treated with ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection in English literature. Materials and Methods: 20 patients with symptomatic partial rotator cuff tears were treated with ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection. Before and after the injection of platelet rich plasma scoring was done with visual analogue score, Constant shoulder score, and UCLA shoulder score at 8 weeks and third month. A review ultrasound was performed 8 weeks after platelet rich plasma injection to assess the rotator cuff status. Results: Our study showed statistically significant improvements in 17 patients in VAS pain score, constant shoulder score and UCLA shoulder score. No significant changes in ROM were noted when matched to the contra-lateral side (P < 0.001) at the 3 month follow-up. The study also showed good healing on radiological evaluation with ultrasonogram 8 weeks after platelet rich plasma injection. Conclusion: Ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection for partial rotator cuff tears is an effective procedure that leads to significant decrease in pain, improvement in shoulder functions, much cost-effective and less problematic compared to a surgical treatment.

Objectives: It is not clear if using patients with bilateral symptoms would impact the level of disability reported in orthopaedic research. The purposes of this study were to (1) examine the prevalence of bilateral shoulder symptoms (significant pain, stiffness or weakness affecting function) in patients with rotator cuff impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear and osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint, (2) explore risk factors associated with bilateral shoulder symptoms, and (3) examine the impact of symptom bilaterality and hand dominance on pre- and post-operative patient-oriented disability outcomes. Methods: This study involved secondary analysis of prospectively collected data of patients who had undergone shoulder surgery and had returned for their 1-year follow-up. Two outcome measures were collected prior to surgery and at 1-year following surgery: the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and the Constant–Murley Score. Results: Data of 772 patients, 376 (49%) females, 396 males (51%); 288 (impingement syndrome), 332 (rotator cuff tear), and 152 (osteoarthritis) were included in the analysis. There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of bilateral symptoms being 44%, 28%, and 22% in the osteoarthritis, impingement syndrome, and rotator cuff tear groups, respectively (p < 0.0001). The prevalence of dominant side involvement was 71%, 67%, and 53% in the rotator cuff tear, impingement syndrome, and osteoarthritis groups (p < 0.0001). Older age and female sex were risk factors for development of bilateral symptoms only in patients with rotator cuff tear. Neither symptom bilaterality nor dominant arm involvement had a negative impact on patient-oriented disability outcome measures prior to or after surgery (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that patients with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint have the highest prevalence of bilateral shoulder complaints. The older age and the female sex increased the risk of having bilateral symptoms in patients with rotator cuff tear. Having bilateral shoulder symptoms or dominant side involvement was not associated with higher level of disability prior or after surgery.

ObjectivesExplore how people perceive different labels for rotator cuff disease in terms of words or feelings evoked by the label and treatments they feel are needed.SettingWe performed a content analysis of qualitative data collected in a six-arm, online randomised controlled experiment.Participants1308 people with and without shoulder pain read a vignette describing a patient with rotator cuff disease and were randomised to one of six labels: subacromial impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear, bursitis, rotator-cuff-related shoulder pain, shoulder sprain and episode of shoulder pain.Primary and secondary outcomesParticipants answered two questions (free-text response) about: (1) words or feelings evoked by the label; (2) what treatments they feel are needed. Two researchers iteratively developed coding frameworks to analyse responses.Results1308/1626 (80%) complete responses for each question were analysed. Psychological distress (21%), uncertainty (22%), serious condition (15%) and poor prognosis (9%) were most often expressed by those labelled with subacromial impingement syndrome. For those labelled with a rotator cuff tear, psychological distress (13%), serious condition (9%) and poor prognosis (8%) were relatively common, while minor issue was expressed least often compared with the other labels (5%). Treatment/investigation and surgery were common among those labelled with a rotator cuff tear (11% and 19%, respectively) and subacromial impingement syndrome (9% and 10%) compared with bursitis (7% and 5%).ConclusionsWords or feelings evoked by certain labels for rotator cuff disease and perceived treatment needs may explain why some labels drive management preferences towards surgery and imaging more than others.
