Description
Summary:[...]tendons are subjected to mechanical loads which may cause injuries to the tendons and effect their functionality. [7] Various studies have concluded favorable clinical results using PRP in the management of neglected cases of chronic tendinopathies and also partial rotator cuff tendon tears. [13] MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in the Orthopaedics Department of GMC, Patiala after taking the clearance from Institutional Research Committee, Government Medical College, Patiala on 40 patients (aged more than 18 years) who presented in emergency and OPD with symptoms of shoulder pain and decreased mobility at shoulder. Intervention Procedure Every odd number patient will be subjected to PRP injection [Figure 3] under aseptic conditions in the subacromial space of the shoulder by one of the investigators of the study and will be instructed for any side effect and complications occurring thereafter and to report back immediately in case of any complication occurring in general or at the local site of injection (redness swelling blister or pus formation).
