Editorial Commentary: Sprinkle Some Pixie Dust on It-Are We Really Any Better at Understanding the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma for Rotator Cuff Pathology?

Platelet-rich plasma is used for the treatment of musculoskeletal ailments including rotator cuff pathology with mixed outcomes. Varied cytology and leukocyte counts within platelet-rich plasma may influence the results. The impact of this biological therapy on rotator cuff disease management is poorly understood.
