Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of sodium hyaluronate treatment on rotator cuff lesions without complete tears: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of sodium hyaluronate (ARTZ Dispo) treatment was performed in 51 patients with rotator cuff lesions without complete tears. We hypothesized that ARTZ Dispo would render better results than the placebo. ⋯ Subacromial injections of sodium hyaluronate are effective in treating rotator cuff lesions without complete tears.
