We made an extended literature review of the use of PRP in chronic tendinopathies: epicondylitis, rotator cuff, patellar and calcaneal tendinopathies, and plantar fasciitis. Medline, Embase and Google Scholar were used (until July 31, 2012).

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).

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can enhance the chondrocyte proliferation and repair of cartilage defects. To explore the safety and efficacy of intra-knee-articular injection of PRP to treat knee articular cartilage degeneration by comparing with injecting sodium hyaluronate (SH).

We evaluated the effectiveness of the use of platelet-rich plasma as coadjuvant for union of long bones.

Abstract Experimental results have previously been reported for a new biological dressing consisting of concentrated plasma proteins and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is named Platelet-Protein film (PPF). This study reports clinical experience using PPF produced from the patients' own blood by the original technique.

This study aimed to find a simple, cost-effective, and time-efficient method for the preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), so the acquired benefits will be readily available for multiple procedures in smaller outpatient clinics and to explore the safety and efficacy of the application of PRP in the treatment of degenerative lesions of articular cartilage of the knee.

This study shows that excessively high concentrations of platelets per microliter have an inhibitory effect on the wound healing processes and are, therefore, counterproductive.

In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers.

In the present study, we especially focused on investigating the effects of exogenous PDGF administration on oxidative events during cutaneous wound healing process.

In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers.

Twenty-one patients with refractory diabetic lower extremity ulcers, who had no response to conventional treatments, were treated in this study. Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing.

In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers.
