Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) has little effect on healing when applied during rotator cuff repair

PRFM has little effect on healing when applied during rotator cuff repair. This was the conclusion of a recent report that randomized patients having rotator cuff repairs to receive or not receive PRFM.There were no differences in tendon-to-bone healing between the two groups by ultrasound and no difference in clinical outcomes, including strength between groups. In fact, the use of PRFM was associated with a statistically higher chance of a residual cuff defect at 12 weeks after surgery.
