Platelet-rich fibrin matrix could be an effective treatment for medium
rotator cuff tears and has possible benefits for treating massive rotator
cuff tears, according to an article published in The American Journal of
Sports Medicine.

Abstract
Background:
After reinsertion on the humerus, the rotator cuff has limited ability to
heal. Growth factor augmentation has been proposed to enhance healing in
such procedure.
Purpose:
This study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of growth
factor augmentation during rotator cuff repair.
Snip
Conclusion:
Our study does not support the use of autologous PRFM for augmentation of
a double-row repair of a small or medium rotator cuff tear to improve the
healing of the rotator cuff. Our results are applicable to small and
medium rotator cuff tears; it is possible that PRFM may be beneficial for
large and massive rotator cuff tears. Also, given the heterogeneity of
PRFM preparation products available on the market, it is possible that
other preparations may be more effective.
