Overview

Brief Summary

Comparison between effects of ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection versus steroids injection for pain relief in cases of partial rotator cuff tears

Detailed Description

The effect of injection of platelet rich plasma will be compared with effects of steroids injection according to pain relief effects,, Side effects ,, healing ability ,, recurrence in both groups. 30 patient in each group will be included
