Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Orthopedic Sports Medicine

摘要

The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in the treatment of musculoskele-tal conditions has become more prevalent in recent years. Current literature has exhibited that PRP injections are relatively safe and can potentially accelerate or augment the soft tissue healing process. This review presents the most current literature update on the use of PRP in the treatment of rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis of the knee, ulnar collateral ligament tears, lateral epicondylitis, hamstring injuries, and Achilles tendinopathy.
