Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Gel to Reduce Donor-site Morbidity After Patellar Tendon Graft Harvesting for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study
To evaluate whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP), due to its anti-inflammatory properties and capacity to stimulate tissue regeneration, was able to reduce the anterior knee pain, the kneeling pain, and donor-site morbidity, as evidenced by evaluation of VISA and VAS scoring scales and MRI analysis of the tendon and bone defect, we performed a clinical randomized controlled study where PRP gel was applied to donor site after ACL reconstruction with BPTB.
