Abstract
Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair faces high retear risks in multi-tendon injuries due to insufficient biological healing; leukocyte-rich PRP may enhance tendon-bone integration through inflammatory modulation and growth factor release. Methods: Four databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until March 2025. Literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction were performed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. GRADE was used to grade the strength of the evidence and the results. Results: The main finding of this study was that leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma combined with arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff injuries can improve the Constant Score (MD = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.19, 2.07, p = 0.02, I2 = 47%), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (MD = 6.02, 95% CI: 4.67, 7.36, p < 0.01, I2 = 0%), and University of California, Los Angeles score (MD = 1.20, 95% CI: 0.34, 2.06, p < 0.01, I2 = 0%) of patients with rotator cuff tear after treatment, and reduce the postoperative Visual Analog Scale score (MD = -0.62, 95% CI: -1.16, -0.08, p = 0.02, I2 = 83%) of patients. However, there were no statistical differences regarding the Simple Shoulder Test (MD = 0.08, 95% CI: -0.23, 0.39, p = 0.61, I2 = 5%). Conclusions: Based on current evidence, the use of LR-PRP in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair could lessen postoperative pain and improve postoperative functional scores in individuals with rotator cuff injuries.

Aims
Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of bioengineering. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of bioengineering are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and applications. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, four key features of this Journal:
● We are introducing a new concept in scientific and technical publications “The Translational Case Report in Bioengineering”. It is a descriptive explanatory analysis of a transformative or translational event. Understanding that the goal of bioengineering scholarship is to advance towards a transformative or clinical solution to an identified transformative/clinical need, the translational case report is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles that may guide other similar transformative/translational undertakings.
● Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
● Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
● We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.
