Severe and chronic shoulder pain places an enormous burden on quality of life, especially for athletes who want to heal and return to play as quickly as possible. When it comes to rotator cuff injuries, surgery alone is not always the best option. At Bennett Orthopedics and Sports medicine, Dr. Bennett specializes in using PRP to enhance the effects of rotator cuff surgery.

Dr. William F. Bennett is one of Sarasota’s top orthopedic surgeons and a pioneer in the field. He is dedicated to constantly advancing how he approaches arthroscopic surgery. By using PRP to enhance the results of rotator cuff surgery, Dr. Bennett has helped hundreds of patients regain their range of motion, eliminate stiffness and pain, and escape chronic suffering.

What Does Rotator Cuff Surgery Involve?

Rotator cuff surgery is used when the rotator cuff injury is defined as a complete tear of more than 50 percent thickness. The surgery can be completed in a minimally invasive manner using arthroscopic repair. Dr. Bennett uses a tiny camera to examine and repair the tissue inside and around the shoulder joint.

Why Does PRP Deliver Results?

By augmenting arthroscopic repair with PRP therapy, Dr. Bennett achieves faster recovery times, reduced pain following surgery, and sustainable healing results for his patients. This is thanks to the regenerative powers of PRP.

PRP accelerates and enhances the body’s natural healing processes. It is composed of concentrated blood platelets, which carry a number of essential proteins and enzymes called growth factors that support tissue healing and battle inflammation. This is why PRP can be used to supplement rotator cuff surgery to support accelerated and ongoing healing.

Arthroscopic Surgery With PRP For Best Results

If you are suffering from chronic shoulder pain, a standard surgery with a long recovery time is not your only option. You can call (941) 229-1648 to make an appointment with Dr. Bennett and explore the option of using PRP to enhance your rotator cuff surgery results.

Over the past two decades, Dr. Bennett has had the opportunity to compare right to left shoulder surgeries in the same patient who had one shoulder repaired with the applications of PRP and the other shoulder repaired without, and years of patient follow-up has provided ample evidence that the use of PRP with rotator cuff surgery will decrease pain and length of rehabilitation time.
