Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Focused Shock Waves in the Treatment of Jumper’s Knee in Athletes
Therapeutic injections of PRP lead to better midterm clinical results compared with focused ESWT in the treatment of jumper's knee in athletes.
Outcomes after Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Chronic Tendinopathy: A Multicenter, Retrospective Review
In this retrospective study, in which we evaluated administration of PRP for chronic tendinopathy, we found that the majority of patients reported a moderate (>50%) improvement in pain symptoms.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Application in the Management of Chronic Tendinopathies
Platelets release various cytokines and growth factors which promote angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and wound healing. We made an extended literature review of the use of PRP in chronic tendinopathies: epicondylitis, rotator cuff, patellar and calcaneal tendinopathies, and plantar fasciitis.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): An Adjuvant to Hasten Hamstring Muscle Recovery. A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
This study protocol proposes a rigorous and potential significant evaluation of PRP use for grade-2 hamstring injury.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Regeneration of Dental Pulp Tissue in Immature Teeth with Apical Periodontitis Using Platelet-Rich Plasma and Dental Pulp Cells
We investigated the new tissues growing into the pulp space of immature dog teeth that were infected, disinfected and filled with blood clot (BC), dental pulp cells (DPCs), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a combination of DPCs and PRP in immature dog teeth with apical periodontitis.
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.
