Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block using platelet-richplasma (PRP) under ultrasonographic guidance in patients treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Material and Methods: 50 cases of patients, from March 2013 to March 2014, treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were retrospectively analyzed. We performed ultrasonography-guided suprascapular nerve block using platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) to these patients in the outpatient clinics at the 6 weeks follow-up after operation. We evalulated results for visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, range of motion (ROM), Constant Shoulder Score (CSS) for these patients before arthroscopic operation, following 6 weeks and 3 months after operation.
Results: There was clinically significant improvement in VAS, ROM, CSS after ultrasonography-guided suprascapular nerve block using platelet-rich-plasma (PRP).
Conclusion: Ultrasonography-guided suprascapular nerve block using platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) is an effective treatment method not only for around shoulder pain but also postoperative residual shoulder pain and limitation of shoulder motion.
