use of platelet rich plasma and hyaluronic acid in the treatment of complications of achilles tendon reconstruction
Authors
abstract
background the platelet-rich plasma (prp) and hyaluronic acid (ha) constitute a system of tissue growth that can regenerate damaged tissue. this study was performed to evaluate the effect of prp and ha in treatment of complications of achilles tendon reconstruction. methods we selected ten patients affected by achilles tendon injuries resulting from post-surgical complications subsequent to tenorrhaphy and have treated them with autologous prp in combination with ha to evaluate the improvement of lesions with wound closure. results the treatment with prp and ha for post-surgical complications of achilles tendon was effective in healing and regeneration of soft and hard tissues. the healing time was shortened, and the treated area preserved a satisfying strength in plantar flexion and extension of the ankle, denoting to a decisive improvement in texture and a more rapid healing and a good cutaneous elasticity, with a significant reduction of the costs of hospitalization and the pain already the immediate postoperatively. the functional rehabilitation in terms of deambulation and joint mobility was complete. conclusion the treatment we proposed allowed an easier and more rapid wound closure with excellent aesthetic improvement. furthermore, the minimally invasive technique is well tolerated by patients.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Promotes an Accelerated Healing of Achilles Tendon When Compared to Platelet-Rich Plasma in Rat
BACKGROUND Autologous platelet concentrate has been used to improve the function and regeneration of injured tissues. Tendinopathies are common in clinical practice, although long-term treatment is required. On the basis of lead time, we compared the effect of using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in repairing rat Achilles tendon. METHODS The effectiveness of usi...

The aim of this study was to the effect of aquatic activity and alogenic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells fortified with Platelet-Rich Plasma in treatment of Achilles tendon in rat. 74 Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and tendon injury was formed in 69 of them. Subsequently, these rats were randomly divided into 8 groups and 5 rats which were without any injuries were chosen as the ...
