Rotator Cuff Repair Augmented With Endogenous Fibrin Clot

Rotator Cuff Repair Augmented With Endogenous Fibrin Clot

Despite recent technical advances, rotator cuff repair continues to have a high retear rate. Recent research focused on biologic augmentation of rotator cuff repair with platelet-rich plasma has shown mixed results, and use of an endogenous fibrin clot from either peripheral blood or bone marrow may...
