The aim of this review and meta-analysis is to assess recent clinical trials concerning the combination of operative treatment of rotator cuff tears and the administration of PRP and its effect on clinical scores and postoperative retear rates. The trials were used to compare the combination of PRP treatment and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to arthroscopy alone. Twenty-five clinical trials were reviewed.

- Carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes are the most common nerve compression issues affecting the upper limb, and while treatments have improved, finding the perfect surgical method is still a work in progress.
