PRP injections are associated with improved pain and function scores at three month follow-up when compared with corticosteroid injections. Information regarding relative adverse event rates and cost implications is lacking. Further, large-scale, high-quality, randomised controlled trials with blinding of outcome assessment and longer follow-up are required.
