The goal of this trial is to see if biological therapy can heal rotator cuff injuries without surgery. RCT is primarily a condition that affects people in their forties and fifties. Observational studies suggested that the degenerative process caused a linear increase in RCT frequency over time. Sports and non-sporting activities RCTs can be caused by injuries, however asymptomatic tears do not require treatment. Tears in the shoulder can be treated conservatively using anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and steroid injections to relieve symptoms and restore shoulder strength and function. RCTs have a limited ability to heal on their own, and surgical repair is frequently used as a last resort when non-operative therapy fails. In addition to probable surgical and general anaesthesia risks, the recovery period following surgery can be protracted. There is no convincing evidence to support the routine use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of symptomatic RCTs. A full-thickness supraspinatus (SST) tear in an older woman is described. An ultrasound (USS) and MRI scan revealed a tear in the SST measuring 9 mm in length and 13 mm in width with 7 mm retraction, which was unresponsive to anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, and steroid injections. She had a positive clinical and radiological response to fat-derived autologous expanded MSCs paired with PRP implantation. The subacromial bursa, supraspinatus tendon material, and tendon insertion were all injected under USS guidance. The SST had healed after five months, according to USS. She had a significant improvement in her symptoms eight months after starting MSC therapy. She reduced her Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score from 88.3 at the start of the therapy to 16.3 at the end. A follow-up MRI scan indicated complete healing and regeneration of the SST, as well as reattachment of the retracted tendon to the greater tuberosity of the humerus, demonstrating that MSC therapy as a non-surgical therapeutic option was successful. We looked through the literature and discovered that no other non-surgical medical therapy delivers full-thickness tendon restoration that beats the world record.
