CORR Synthesis: What Is the Role of Platelet-rich Plasma Injection in the Treatment of Tendon Disorders?

摘要

The term platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, when hematologists used it to describe blood plasma with supraphysiologic concentrations of platelets [2, 3]. PRP was used as a treatment for patients with thrombocytopenia [2]. When used for this indication, it was derived by pooling blood from a single donor or multiple donors and given as an intravenous transfusion.
