Treatment of Athletic Tendonopathy
This article reviews the most widely used treatments for tendinopathy and outlines the literature support for their use.
Use of Autologous Fibrin Glue (Platelet-Poor Plasma) in Abdominal Dermolipectomies
The PPP fostered adhesion between the abdominal dermoadipose flap and the aponeurotic surface only on the first POD and had no influence whatsoever on the incidence of seroma. There are few reports on the use of PPP for plastic surgery, particularly the autologous type, opening up possibilities for further research projects to expand its use.
Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for Treating Chronic Wounds
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that contains fibrin and high concentrations of growth factors and has the potential to aid wound healing.
Preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma from Small Volume of Whole Blood – A Simplified Approach
This study demonstrates a simple, rapid and inexpensive technique that is useful in obtaining platelets concentrated approximately 11-fold.
Incidence of Deep Sternal Wound Infection Is Not Reduced with Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) remain a devastating complication in cardiac surgery applying full sternotomy.
The Efficacy of Autologous Platelet Gel in Pain Control and Blood Loss in Total Knee Arthroplasty. An Analysis of the Haemoglobin, Narcotic Requirement and Range of Motion
Though further prospective trials are necessary, this study indicates that the application of autologous platelet gel may lead to improved haemostasis, better pain control and a shortened hospital stay.
Platelet Rich Plasma Improves The Healing Process After Airway Anastomosis
PRP accelerates the onset of healing in airway surgery by promoting an earlier release of platelet-derived growth factors that stimulate transanastomotic angiogenesis.
CMS Announcement: Final Decision for use of PRP for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds
CMS covers autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) only for patients who have chronic non-healing diabetic, pressure, and/or venous wounds and when all the following conditions are met.
A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Based Membrane as a Periosteal Substitute with Enhanced Osteogenic and Angiogenic Properties: a New Concept for Bone Repair
We propose a periosteal substitute engineered using a platelet rich plasma (PRP) membrane incorporating autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (PRP/BMSC gel membrane) to be wrapped around an osteoconductive scaffold for regeneration of compromised bone defects.
Autologous Platelet-rich Plasma: Effect on Sternal Healing in the Sheep Model
We looked at the effects of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) as an agent on sternal bone healing.
The Effect of Platelet-rich Plasma on Wounds of OLETF Rats Using Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 mRNA
Complicated diabetic patients show impaired, delayed wound healing caused by multiple factors. A study on wound healing showed that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was effective in normal tissue regeneration. Nonetheless, there is no evidence that when plateletrich plasma is applied to diabetic wounds, it normalizes the diabetic wound healing process. In this study, we have analyzed matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 expression to investigate the effect of PRP on diabetic wounds.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma with Fibrin Matrix on Healing of Intrasynovial Flexor Tendons
To investigate the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with fibrin matrix on the healing of intrasynovial flexor tendons in a rabbit model in vivo.
