Editorial Commentary: Targeted Use of Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma Reduces Retear Rate More Than Bone Marrow Stimulation in Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair

This editorial commentary addresses the effectiveness of leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in reducing retear rates in double-row rotator cuff repairs compared to bone marrow stimulation. The authors highlight that while PRP appears to lower retear rates without significantly affecting functional outcomes, the variability in PRP composition necessitates standardized preparation methods. They conclude that targeted use of leukocyte-poor PRP is supported by current evidence, although further research is needed to understand its biological mechanisms and optimize its application.
