A comparative study of platelet-rich plasma versus corticosteroid injections in the management of partial thickness rotator cuff tears
Background: Rotator cuff disease (RCD) affects over 60% of individuals above 80 years. Partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) cause persistent pain and functional limitation. Corticosteroid injections provide short-term relief but risk tendon degeneration. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), enriched with TGF-β, VEGF, P...
