| Rotator cuff (RC) injury refers to the injury of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles that make up the rotator cuff. At present, there is a lack of consistency in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff injury. This paper, by searching relevant literature on conservative treatment of rotator cuff injury at home and abroad, studies and examines the application status of different conservative treatment methods and different types of platelet-rich plasma, so as to provide the optimal treatment method for clinical treatment of rotator cuff injury and provide ideas for future treatment and research direction of rotator cuff injury. Platelet-rich plasma injections, stem cell therapy, corticosteroid injection, oral NSAID therapy, and physical therapy are among the conservative treatments currently used for rotator cuff injuries. Among these, multiple, high-dose, ultrasound guided injections of leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) have the most mature clinical application and the best therapeutic effect for rotator cuff injury. |
