Increased Concentration of White Blood Cells in PRP Weakens Rotator Cuff Tendons When Used for PASTA Repairs

OrthoBiologics: Platelet-Rich Plasma
Shoulders: Rotator Cuff

The objective of this study was to evaluate the method of failures of repairs of articular-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff (PASTA lesions) repairs without platelet-rich plasma (PRP), with PRP with concentrated white blood cells (WBC’s), and with PRP with reduced WBC’s.
