简要总结
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of barbotage of the supraspinatus tendon (ST) partial rupture with or without Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) using the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index score, and ultrasound (US) images, at 6 weeks and 6 months after treatment. Patients showed clinical improvement in both groups, and no significant difference in the score at 6 weeks was found. However, at 6 months a significant improvement was observed in the PRP group (p=0,019). Supraspinatus Tendon rupture decreased in both groups after treatment, and there was a significant enhancement at 6 weeks and 6 months in the PRP group. In conclusion, US guided barbotage technique associated with PRP or saline solution are effective treatments for clinical improvement and decrease in the size of the partial ST tear, with better results with PRP in clinical improvement at 6 months. The association of PRP with barbotage is superior in reducing the size of the ST tear at 6 weeks and 6 months, reaching complete healing in 79,3% of the tears.
