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...

description | 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 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, n = 12 per group). To further assess chitosan safety, a chitosan–water solution was injected at the same sites (3 mL, n = 12). 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. The group treated with chitosan–water was not different from controls. Chitosan–PRP treatment induced no negative effects in the sheep, which suggests high safety. This study provides further evidence on the safety and efficacy of chitosan–PRP for rotator cuff repair augmentation, which could eventually be used in a clinical setting. |
