Placebo Comparator
Low-dose PRP
High-dose PRP
Saline control
Patients will receive a single injection of 6 ml low-dose platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the glenohumeral joint. Low-dose is defined as a platelet yield of 3X (i.e., 3-fold increase in platelets in PRP compared to whole blood).
Patients will receive a single injection of 6 ml high-dose platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the glenohumeral joint. High-dose is defined as a platelet yield of 12X (i.e., 12-fold increase in platelets in PRP compared to whole blood).
Patients will receive a single injection of 6 ml saline into the glenohumeral joint.
