Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of rotator cuff tear repair extent through ultrasound-guided injection of platelet-rich plasma
Design
A non-randomized clinical trial, without a control group, and without blinding, phase 1, will be conducted on 40 patients.
Settings and conduct
This study will utilize patients with partial tendon tears who meet the study's inclusion criteria. Patients will be selected from the specialized Sports Medicine Clinic and, after obtaining informed consent, will participate in the study. Platelet-rich plasma will be prepared and injected under ultrasound guidance. Clinical and radiographic measurements of patients will be performed before, immediately after, and two months after injection, along with relevant sonographic evaluations. After data collection and analysis, the results will be reported in the final thesis.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Age range: 18 to 80 years old; Primary tear; Traumatic or degenerative tear with less than 50% thickness
Intervention groups
A clinical trial study is planned in patients with rotator cuff tears in the city of Mashhad in the year 1403. Patients will be selected from the specialized Sports Medicine Clinic and, after obtaining informed consent, will participate in the study. Inclusion criteria for the study include ages between 18 and 80 years old, tendon tear less than 50%, and willingness to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria from the study include secondary rotator cuff tear due to fracture or dislocation. Patients will receive three injections of platelet-rich plasma under ultrasound guidance, and ultrasound imaging will be performed before injection, after injection, and two months later. Data will be collected, and the study results will be reported in the final thesis.
Main outcome variables
Percentage of tear; mediolateral tear length; pain level; shoulder range of motion; tear repair

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In this clinical trial study, the intervention group consists of patients with rotator cuff tears who undergo platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. The PRP preparation process involves collecting blood from patients under sterile conditions and storing it in citrate-dextrose tubes. The blood is then centrifuged to separate into three layers, with the bottom layer containing the platelet-rich plasma. During the injection process, the injection site is determined using musculoskeletal ultrasound probe. Then, 2 to 3 milliliters of platelet-rich plasma are injected into the rotator cuff tear site under ultrasound guidance. Patients are positioned in a seated position during the injection. Following the injection, study patients are repeatedly assessed to observe clinical and radiological changes post-PRP injection. These changes include comparing pain levels, shoulder range of motion, defect size, percentage of tear, tendon thickness, and other parameters related to rotator cuff tear.
