چکیده
• 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 professional athletes. However, the science is still very limited. As the ODG states, the results are promising, but it is not yet ready for prime time. • Only in the elbow, is evidence of sufficient quality to support its use.
