Brief Summary

Rotator cuff tear is a common cause of shoulder pain. Steroids, hyaluronic acid (HA), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are becoming popular for the treatment of chronic rotator cuff partial tear. The investigators plan to evaluate the effect of the new product of PRP combined with HA on the rotator cuff and prove its benefit of pain control and function recovery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Constant-Murley Shoulder Score (CMSS)

    The Constant-Murley Shoulder Score (CMSS) is a multi-item functional scale assessing pain, ADL, ROM, and strength of the affected shoulder. score: 0-100. The higher score means the function feels good and painless.

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.

  • range of motion of shoulder

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.

  • pain score (VAS)

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.

  • the change of anatomy

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.

  • associated complications

    before treatment, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week.
