An Exercise-Based Physical Therapy Program for Patients with Patellar Tendinopathy after Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
This study extensively describes, based on current knowledge, a physical therapy program after PRP injection for patellar tendinopathy patients.
Platelet Rich Plasma. A New Treatment Tool for the Rheumatologist
In the following review we will analyze in detail its principles, preparation, and management regimes. We will reflect on potential adverse effects and, finally, there will be a critical analysis of the scientific evidence that supports its potential use in the rheumatology clinic.
The Positive Effects of Different platelet-Rich Plasma Methods on Human Muscle, Bone, and Tendon Cells
The primary findings of this study suggest the application of different PRP separations may result in a potential beneficial effect on the clinically relevant target cells in vitro.
Unique Antimicrobial Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Its Efficacy as a Prophylaxis to Prevent Implant-Associated Spinal Infection
Compared to the infection controls, PRP treatment results in significant reduction in bacterial colonies in bone samples at all time points studied (i.e. 1, 2, and 3 weeks) and significant increase in mineralized tissues (thereby better bone healing) at postoperative weeks 2 and 3.PRP therefore may be a useful adjunct strategy against postoperative implant-associated infections.
Evaluation of the Effects of Homologous Platelet Gel on Healing Lower Extremity Wounds in Patients with Diabetes
Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing. We propose that homologous PG appeared to enhance vascularization and epithelialization, which might induce a quicker healing process and and encourage controlled studies in future.
To Evaluate the Effect of Combining Photo-Activation Therapy with Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Novel Treatment of Osteoarthritis
We present a case report of osteoarthritis of the knee treated with photo-activated platelet-rich plasma injections (PAPRP).
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on Suture Distraction Osteogenesis
The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of PRP and its combination with rhBMP-2 as a controlled delivery system during sagittal suture distraction osteogenesis.
Augmentation Techniques for Isolated Meniscal Tears
This article discusses various augmentation techniques for meniscal repair and reviews the current literature with regard to fibrin clot, platelet rich plasma, proinflammatory cytokines, and application of growth factors.
Application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and its Derivatives in Dental Implantologie and Plastic Surgery
This article is a description of some relevant aspects of the PRP and its application in the areas of dentistry and cosmetic surgery.
Formulation and Storage of Platelet-Rich Plasma Homemade Product
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biotherapy based on platelet-healing properties. Here, we developed a simple and reproducible PRP purification protocol based on two successive centrifugations.
Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy Associated with Multiple Ligament Injuries of the Knee
The present case represents the application of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) technology for the treatment of peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot. This technology has already been proven its therapeutic potential for various musculoskeletal disorders. Based on these results, we hypothesized that PRGF could stimulate the healing process of traumatic peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot.
Platelet Concentrates, from Whole Blood or Collected by Apheresis
The quality and characteristics of platelets during storage are affected by a number of factors, such as anticoagulant, centrifugation and processing after collection, and pre- or post storage pooling, but when comparing literature on the various methods, most differences balance out.
