A single dose of platelet-rich plasma improves the organization and strength of a surgically repaired rotator cuff tendon in rats

Abstract: Application of a single dose autologous PRP in adjunct to surgical repair resultes in improved tendon-to-bone healing, assessed by histological and biomechanical testing in a rat model of acute RCT, when tested at 3 weeks compared to controls. Further studies will be essential to determine the role of PRP in clinical practice.

“…Although animal models are suitable to observe the systemic effects of PRP, animal tissue physiology and sensitivity differ from those of human tissue. [25][26][27] Concerning the small amount of studies demonstrating the in vitro effects of different leukocyte concentrations of PRP, it was observed that these studies are on synoviocytes. [28] or other tissues such as human ligament fibroblasts.…”

“…Biomechanical analysis showed that PRP administration resulted in a signifi cantly higher maximal load and stiffness as compared to nontreated animals at week 3. Histological assessment showed that collagen birefringence was signifi cantly higher in PRP shoulders, indicating improved organization [ 12 ]. Ersen et al designed an experimental study for rotator cuff repair including four group (1) no repair, (2) primary repair, (3) repair plus PRP injections into the tendon-bone interface, and (4) repair plus PRP absorbed from a sponge carrier to the tendonbone interface.…”

“…Because of its autogenous origin, relative ease of preparation, and excellent safety profile PRP was introduced as a promising therapeutic agent in sports medicine. In vivo studies with animal models showed that PRP administration decreased tendon repair time while increasing collagen-fiber organization, vascularity and tensile strength [9,10]. In vitro studies reported that PRP treatment increased cell proliferation and growth factor expression [9], providing the scientific basis for further E. Amar and N. Snir contributed equally to this work.…”
