Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma With Concomitant Use of a Corticosteroid on Tenocytes From Degenerative Rotator Cuff Tears
/
CONCLUSION:
This study shows that the addition of PRP does not interfere with the anti-inflammatory effects of a corticosteroid on IL-1β-treated tenocytes from degenerative rotator cuff tears but that it does avoid the deleterious side effects of a corticosteroid.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE:
PRP can be clinically useful with a corticosteroid as a treatment for tendinopathy.
