The clinical use of PRP therapy in the practical setting of orthopaedic fields is increasing partly because of the accessibility of devices that are used in outpatient preparation and delivery. Another reason is the strong advertisement of PRP procedures as the ultimate treatment and novel technology for knee problems by a few orthopaedic surgeons based on claims of abundant scientific eviden...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a high concentration of thrombocytes and the -granules of platelets contain platelet-released growth factors. The usefulness of PRP for regeneration of bone and soft tissues has been reported previously. We firstly reported the efficacy of PRP prepared using the Magellan Autologous Platelet Separator System for intractable skin ulcers such as diabetic and ve...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) have been used to improve hemostasis and wound healing after surgery; however, randomized controlled trials proving their efficacy are lacking. METHODS Hemithyroidectomy was performed on 52 patients. Autologous PRP and PPP were applied during wound closure in the treatment group, while saline was applied in the controls. Out...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is highly concentrated auto logous solution of plasma prepared from a patient’s own blood. PRP contains platelets that are purported to release numerous growth factors that may be valuable in numerous dermatologic applications. We know the addition of platelets and their associated growth factors opened new possibilities, for the treatment of chronic skin ulcers. Ther...

periodontal regeneration in a one-wall intrabony defect is a challenging and complex phenomenon. the combination therapy of commercially available bone grafts with the innovative tissue engineering strategy, the platelet rich plasma, has emerged as a promising grafting modality for two and three walled intrabony osseous defects. the application of this combination approach was attempted in a mo...
