Abstract This work aimed to investigate the synergetic therapeutic effects of polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN)
combined with extracorporeal shock waves therapy (ESWT) and the effects of the therapy according to ESWT
sequences on a chronic traumatic full-thickness rotator cuff tear (RCT) in rabbit models. For this purpose, thirty-two
rabbits were randomly allocated into 4 groups. An excision was made to create a 5-mm sized full-thickness RCT right
proximal to the insertion site on the supraspinatus. After 6 weeks, 4 different procedures (normal saline, Group 1;
PDRN injection, Group 2; PDRN injection before ESWT, Group 3; PDRN injection after… More >
