About this study
Official title: Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Medium to Large Rotator Cuff Tears: A Randomized Controlled Trial
- The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and anatomical outcomes of rotator cuff repair with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and conventional rotator cuff repair in treatment of medium to large rotator cuff tears.
- PRP application to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair would accelerate recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in terms of pain relief, functional outcomes, overall satisfaction, and enhance structural integrity of repaired tendon.
- Conditions
- Rotator Cuff Tear
- Being tested
- Conventional arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with PRP
- Medical subject headings
- Rotator Cuff Injuries
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Conventional arthroscopic rotator cuff repairProcedure or surgery
- Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lazy lateral decubitus position on the operating table.
- The surgical area was prepared and draped with Betadine.
- Small stab incisions were made in the creation of 4-5 portals as needed.
- A scope was explored via the arthroscopic portal into the GH joint \& subacromial space.
- Repair of full thickness rotator cuff tear was done with suture anchors.
- The skin was closed with Nylon or medical staples.
- Sterile dressing was applied on surgical wound.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with PRPProcedure or surgery
- Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lazy lateral decubitus position on the operating table.
- The surgical area was prepared and draped with Betadine.
- Small stab incisions were made in the creation of 4-5 portals as needed.
- A scope was explored via the arthroscopic portal into the GH joint \& subacromial space.
- Repair of full thickness rotator cuff tear was done with suture anchors.
- After tying sutures of the medial row, PRP gels were applied on the repair site.
- The lateral row was secured using suture anchors.
- The skin was closed with Nylon or medical staples.
- Sterile dressing was applied on surgical wound.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Constant-Murley shoulder score
The Constant score assesses pain, function, ROM, and strength. Pain is allotted a maximum of 15 points, activities of daily living (function)20 points, ROM 40 points, and strength 25 points. The component scores are summated to achieve a maximum possible total score of 100.
Measured: Postoperative 3months

Primary outcome
Constant-Murley shoulder score
Time frame: Postoperative 3months
The Constant score assesses pain, function, ROM, and strength. Pain is allotted a maximum of 15 points, activities of daily living (function)20 points, ROM 40 points, and strength 25 points. The component scores are summated to achieve a maximum possible total score of 100.
Results and safety
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Conventional arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with PRP in people with Rotator Cuff Tear, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Constant-Murley shoulder score (time frame: Postoperative 3months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
