Leukocyte-Reduced Platelet-Rich Plasma Normalizes Matrix Metabolism in Torn Human Rotator Cuff Tendons

Abstract

Background: The optimal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treatment of supraspinatus tendinopathy has not been determined.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of low- versus high-leukocyte concentrated PRP products on catabolic and anabolic mediators of matrix metabolism in diseased rotator cuff tendons.
