Efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma use for arthroscopic meniscal repair

Abstract: Background: Meniscus tear is one of the most familiar orthopedic injury, and it is also the leading cause of the dysfunction of knee joint. Recent efforts to improve the success rate of the meniscus repair surgery involve the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The aim of our experiment is to assess the clinical effects of arthroscopic repair of meniscal tears without or with PRP. Methods: This is a randomized and parallel-group superiority study. The study protocol… Show more

“… 4 , 5 PRP was first used to improve the outcomes of dental implant surgeries, and its musculoskeletal effects have recently gained attention, most notably in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine. 6 , 7 , 8 Currently, clinical trials are being conducted to confirm whether PRP is capable of easing OA symptoms when administered locally either in the process of surgery (use of PRP gel during orthopedic surgery) or in situ (e.g., at tendinopathy sites or within cartilage or muscle lesions). 9 , 10 PRP has also been frequently used to ameliorate OA by facilitating collagen synthesis and chondrocyte proliferation.…”
