Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Abstract Background shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint. And rotator cuff muscles tendinopathy is one of the most common causes for shoulder pain. Aim of the Work to evaluate the effectiveness of the percutaneous ultrasound guided PRP injection in improving or treating chronic Rotator Cuff muscles tendinopathy. Patients and Methods this study was conducted on 33 patients presented to Police Hospital Nasr City and diagnosed as cases of rotator cuff tendinopathy for more than 6 months and not responding to NSAIDs. Results there is high significant improvement of the ultrasound findings and clinical manifestations of patients as regard pain, range of motion and power comparing to the base line start. According to this study, PRP was found to be more effective on the long term then short term “comparing results after one and five month”. Conclusion ultrasound guided PRP injection is a safe and an effective treatment modality for rotator cuff tendinopathy as evidenced by decreased pain and improved range of motion across the shoulder joint after the application and follow up of the PRP.

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.

Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the control group and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) group among the patients who failed to respond to conservative treatment as outpatient-based therapy for rotator cuff tendinopathy, and to compare the clinical results of leukocyte-poor (LP) PRP and leukocyte-rich (LR) PRP.Methods: Inclusion criteria are (1) over 18-year-old, (2) patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, no rotator cuff tear by radiologic diagnosis (ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging) within the last 3 months, and (3) not effective to conservative treatment for more than 1 month. Of the final 60 subjects, 33 patients in the exercise treatment group and 27 patients in the PRP injection group (LP-PRP, 13; LR-PRP, 14) were included. Clinical evaluation was carried out by assessing the outcomes of treatment using the Numeric Rating Scale pain score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score, and the Constant score at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after the procedure.Results: There was a statistically significant difference in ΔASES<sub>3months</sub> (ASES<sub>3months</sub>-ASES<sub>first</sub>) score between the control and PRP groups (<i>p</i>=0.006). However, there was no statistical significance between LP-PRP and LR-PRP groups (<i>p</i>>0.05).Conclusions: This study showed that PRP injection was more effective than exercise therapy for the first 3 months. However, there was no difference between the LP-PRP group and the LR-PRP group. Regardless of the type of PRP, clinical application of PRP injection in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy seems to be effective in early treatment.

Abstract Background Rotator cuff tears are a common orthopedic problem, and often these tears are so-called partial tears of the rotator cuff. A partial tear of the rotator cuff is an area of damage or degeneration to the rotator cuff tendons, where the tear does not go all the way through the tendons Objectives The aim of the work assessment of rotator cuff partial tear treatment with ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection. Patients and Methods Single arm interventional study which was conducted in Ain shams university hospitals in the period between March 2020 and October 2020, 10 confirmed cases of rotator cuff partial tear diagnosed by MRI were included in this study. Their ages ranging from 25 to 70 years old. Results Our study showed statistically significant improvements in 10 patients in VAS pain score, constant shoulder score, PENN shoulder score and OXFORD shoulder score. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided PRP injection for rotator cuff partial thickness tears is a safe, cheap, and easily prepared outpatient procedure which showed competitive, promising and wellproved results. PRP has the potential to heal the muscle-tendon unit of the rotator cuff and may be a primary nonsurgical treatment modality for rotator cuff tears.
