Chitosan–Platelet-Rich Plasma Implants Improve Rotator Cuff Repair in a Large Animal Model: Pivotal Study

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of chitosan–platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hybrid implants used as an adjunct to surgical rotator cuff repair in a pivotal Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant study. The infraspinatus tendon was transected in 48 skeletally mature ewes...

The infraspinatus tendon was transected in 48 skeletally mature ewes and repaired with a transosseous-equivalent (TOE) technique. In the two treatment groups, a chitosan–PRP solution was injected at the footprint between the tendon and the bone and on top of the repaired site (2 mL or 3 mL doses, <i>n</i> = 12 per group).

Outcome measures included Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessment and clinical pathology at 3 months and 6 months and histopathology at 6 months. The tendon gap was decreased at 3 months on MRI images and certain histopathological features were improved at 6 months by chitosan–PRP treatment compared to controls.
