Orthopedics
PRP is used in many aspects of orthopedics and is often considered as an alternative to surgery. The most promising results to date have been with soft tissue injuries, including tendonitis, loose ligaments, ligament sprains or tears, tendon tears, and muscle tears. PRP has also been effective in treating cartilage degeneration such as arthritis[⁸,⁹,¹⁰,¹¹,¹²],
Wound Care
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel consists of cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, and a fibrin scaffold. This treatment is considered to be an advanced wound therapy for diabetic ulcers, burns and other traumatic external wounds that are non-healing,[²⁵,²⁶] The use of PRP accelerated wound healing significantly when injecting high doses of the body’s own healing factors directly to the area where they are needed,[²⁵,²⁶]
