Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

I have searched through the medical literature and latest practice guidelines and there is no evidence for recommending platelet injections for the treatment of torn labrum as of now.

This therapy may be tried but there is not enough evidence it actually working to heal the labrum.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Aashish Raghu
