Leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma reduces retear risk after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a meta-analysis with mechanistic and economic evaluation.
Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery·August 1, 2026·PMID 41759819
Why it mattersRotator cuff repair failure rates remain high (20–40%), leading to pain, functional decline, and costly revisions. This analysis clarifies that not all PRP formulations are equivalent—LP-PRP specifically reduces structural retears, which can inform surgical decision-making and resource allocation.
