Abstract:Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated beneficial effects on healing of the bone-tendon interface (BTI). Purpose: To determine the optimal initiation time for PRP application after rotator cuff repair in an animal model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 136 C57BL/6 mice were included; 40 mice were used to prepare PRP, while 96 mice underwent acute supraspinatus tendon (SST) repair. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: a control group and 3 groups in wh… Show more
