What this Trial Is About
Rotator cuff tear is a common cause of shoulder pain. Steroids, hyaluronic acid (HA), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are becoming popular for the treatment of chronic rotator cuff partial tear. The investigators plan to evaluate the effect of the new product of PRP combined with HA on the rotator cuff and prove its benefit of pain control and function recovery.
