There are many conservative treatment options available for partial rotator cuff tears. However, the superiority of a certain type of injection could not be demonstrated with the available data. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness of steroid, hyaluronic acid, prp and placebo (normal saline) injections in partial rotator cuff tears by applying the same physical therapy protocol after injection.
