Does platelet rich plasma injections work for rotator cuff tears?

Platelet Rich Plasma: Although experimental there is some encouraging results and many anecdotal cases of improvement of small to moderate tears. For more information check www.Totaltendon.Com or www.Bloodcure.Com.

Not a recognized: Treatment. While some providers use platelet rich plasma from the patient, there is no credible evidence that it helps in healing.

PRP: It can definitely help with healing. It will not cure a rotator cuff tear.

PRP success varies: "injuries treated with prp therapy include: rotator cuff, quadriceps, hamstring, achilles tendon injuries and tennis elbow. Essentially any tendon or ligament injury except complete tears may be treated successfully..." while prp helps in many cases, it may not replace the need for surgery in the long-run.
