Platelet-Rich Plasma: Underlying Biology and Clinical Correlates
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has recently become the focus of intensive interest and discussion, in part because of the expanding understanding of platelet function.
PRP as a New Approach to Prevent Infection: Preparation and In Vitro Antimicrobial Properties of PRP
In this study, we disclose a new strategy that may be effective in preventing implant-associated infection based on the potential antimicrobial properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Inducing Musculoskeletal Tissue Healing
The aim of this manuscript is to review current literature regarding the biology of PRP and the efficacy of using PRP to augment healing of tendon ligament and muscle injuries, as well as early osteoarthritis.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Chronic Wounds: Remaining Fibronectin May Influence Matrix Remodeling and Regeneration Success
We hypothesize that the remaining plasma and platelet-bound fibronectin may act as a further bioactive protein in platelet-rich plasmapreparations.
Sports Medicine Applications of Platelet Rich Plasma
In this review, a classification for platelet rich plasma is proposed and the in-vitro, preclinical and human investigations of PRP applications in sports medicine will be reviewed as well as a discussion of rehabilitation after a PRP procedure.
PRP as a New Approach to Prevent Infection: Preparation and In Vitro Antimicrobial Properties of PRP
For our study, we have selected several clinical bacterial strains that are commonly found in orthopaedic infections and examined whether PRP has in vitro antimicrobial properties against these bacteria.
The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Inducing Musculoskeletal Tissue Healing
The aim of this manuscript is to review current literature regarding the biology of PRP and the efficacy of using PRP to augment healing of tendon ligament and muscle injuries, as well as early osteoarthritis.
Applications and Limits of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Sports Related Injuries
This literature review begin focusing on the role of platelets growth factors in these tissue healing and on the available preparation methods for PRP.
Platelet-Rich Therapy in the Treatment of Patients with Hip Fractures: A Single Centre, Parallel Group, Participant-Blinded, Randomised Controlled Trial
The aim of this study is to quantify and draw inferences on the clinical effectiveness of platelet-rich therapy in the management of patients with a typical osteoporotic fracture of the hip.
Application of Platelet-Rich Gel to Enhance Healing of Transmetatarsal Amputations in Diabetic Dysvascular Patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility to use platelet gel (PG) as an adjuvant therapy when performing TMA procedure in diabetic patients.
Rehabilitation of a Partially Torn Distal Triceps Tendon After Platelet Rich Plasma Injection: A Case Report
This case report presents the rehabilitation strategy used following a PRP injection for a patient with a partially torn distal triceps tendon who previously failed physical therapy interventions.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Focused Shock Waves in the Treatment of Jumper’s Knee in Athletes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in athletes with jumper's knee.
