Incidence of Heterotopic Ossification Among NFL Athletes Following Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Treatment of Core Muscle Injuries (CMI)

摘要

Objectives:Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an increasingly-popular treatment to promote healing in damaged tendons, ligaments, cartilage and muscles. Few studies analyze long-term effects of PRP. The authors have a busy practice treating core muscle injuries (CMI) and, in the last several years, have noticed an unusually high incidence of HO among patients with previous PRP injections for these injuries. The purpose of this study is to investigate PRP and heterotopic ossification in core muscle injuries.
