Our results suggest that intraoperative application of platelet concentrate in combination with vitrectomy may be useful in managing posttraumatic full-thickness macular holes, thus improving anatomic and visual outcomes. The greater recovery of visual acuity obtained in this study compared with that obtained in other series of idiopathic macular holes could be related to the young age of the patients with traumatic macular holes and the early diagnosis and treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
