Platelet-rich plasma therapy - future or trend?
Chronic complex musculoskeletal injuries that are slow to heal pose challenges to physicians and researchers alike. Orthobiologics is a relatively newer science that involves application of naturally found materials from biological sources (for example, cell-based therapies), and offers exciting new possibilities to promote and accelerate bone and soft tissue healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)...
متن کاملPlatelet - Rich Plasma Therapy
• Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) involves drawing the patient's blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets. The layer of platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the patient's pathological body part. The platelets release growth factors to promote healing. It is an office procedure that lasts less than an hour. • The procedure has gained fame because of use on pro...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal applications of platelet-rich plasma: fad or future?
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to detail the biology of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), critically review the existing literature, and discuss future research applications needed to adopt PRP as a mainstay treatment method for common musculoskeletal injuries. CONCLUSION Any promising minimally invasive therapy such as PRP deserves further investigation to avoid surgery. Diagnostic imagi...
متن کاملPlatelet Rich Plasma ( PRP ) Therapy
Molloy, et. al., (2003) address specific growth factors encountered in ligament and tendon healing. After reading about the factors found in superficial wounds, above, these should appear familiar, including: Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)—produced shortly after tendon injury, stimulates production of other growth factors such as IGF-1, and is involved in the tissue remodeling phase of h...
متن کاملPlatelet Rich Plasma: Review of Literature
Objective: At present, growth factor-containing products such as enamel matrix derivatives, recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (rh-BMP), recombinant platelet derived growth factor and platelet rich plasma (PRP) have gained increasing attention. PRP is an autologous source of platelet growth factors used to enhance healing of soft and hard tissues. PRP has gained popularity due to its auto...
