Treatment of Knee Chondropathy with Platelet Rich Plasma. Preliminary Results at 6 Months of Follow-Up with Only One Injection
Recently, PRP have been used to treat early moderate chondropathies. Here we show the preliminary results of 30 patients affected by chondropathy of the knee after 6 months treated with a single intrarticular injection of PRP.
Autologous Bone Marrow Concentrate: Review and Application of a Novel Intra-Articular Orthobiologic for Cartilage Disease
The potential of cell-based orthobiologic injection therapies (pertaining to therapeutic injectables that aim to restore the biologic environment and/or structural components of diseased or damaged musculoskeletal tissue) is of tremendous interest for younger, more active patients, and is even more appealing in that such therapy can be delivered at point-of-care in the clinic during an office visit.
Transplantation of Bone Marrow‑Derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells Overexpressing Delta‑Like‑4 Enhances Functional Neovascularization in Ischemic Myocardium
In the current study, EPCs harvested from C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow were infected in vitro
Achilles Tendinopathy Management: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection with an Eccentric Loading Programme
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger trial to evaluate the difference in Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) scores at six months between patients with Achilles tendinopathy treated with a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection compared with an eccentric loading programme.
Enhancing Intervertebral Disc Repair and Regeneration Through Biology: Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Alternative Strategy
This review describes the current understanding of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and related biological therapeutic strategies, especially the promising prospects of PRP treatment.
Sensory Improvement of Leprosy Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Treated with Perineural Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma
This study shows that perineural PRP injection could promote improvement of peripheral neuropathy sensibility in patients with leprosy.
Autologous Blood Derived Signaling Proteins for Tendon and Muscle Therapy in Sports Medicine Higher Concentration of Growth Factors and Cytokines in Orthokine VS in ACP
We compared 2 none-PRP techniques: ORTHOKINE (Oe) for Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS) and ACP (Ax) for autologous plasma (AP)
The Biomechanics and Histological Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Fracture Healing
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes growth factors and proteins that accelerate and stimulate bone regeneration and tissue recovery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PRP on fracture healing in terms of biomechanics and histology.
How Effective are Injection Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis
We compared the effectiveness, after 3 months, of a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), glucocorticoid (GC), or saline in reducing pain in lateral epicondylitis.
