Transosseous-Equivalent/Suture Bridge Technique in Combination With Platelet-Rich Plasma Application Yield Optimal Clinical Outcomes in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Bayesian Network Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

What’s New in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery

“…Lavoie-Gagne et al 16 evaluated small to medium rotator cuff tears specifically and found that single-row and double-row repair techniques with or without PRP had similar retear rates, PROMs, and clinical outcomes. In contrast, Lv et al 17 evaluated arthroscopic repairs in ≤5-cm tears and found that PRP application significantly reduced retear rates for both single-row and suture-bridge repairs and that suture-bridge repairs with PRP application overall produced the lowest retear rate and the best University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score.…”
