Testimonial: 1 year after rotator cuff repair. Back for PRP for the hip! #prp #rotatorcuff
Sub Specilaties : 1 Shoulder, 1 Platelet Rich Plasmaby Don Buford, M.D. | 17 days ago
Sometimes even an orthopedic regenerative medicine expert still has to do shoulder surgery! When? For example if there is a significant full thickness rotator cuff tear. The "state of the art" for rotator cuff repair now is to add a biological like platelet rich plasma to the repair to decrease the recurrence rate and improve healing. All PRP is not the same so surgeons are continuing to refine the amount of blood necessary to make the "best" PRP to get a good healing response. We draw 120cc of blood which is considered "high dose" PRP!
