T2-mapping MRI evaluation of patellofemoral cartilage in patients submitted to intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections

Abstract: This study evaluated the ability of T2 mapping magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T, in addition to morphological sequences, to assess efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, characterizing qualitatively and quantitatively the grade of knee cartilage repair in patients with patellofemoral chondropathy. We retrospectively studied 34 patients (22 men, 12 women, mean age 41.8 years, including 22 men) with patellofemoral knee chondropathy, who underwent intra-articular PRP injections and completed a clinic… Show more

“… 26 Very few studies have evaluated the effect of PRP in chondromalacia patellae achieving good results both in imaging and clinical studies. 27 29 This treatment should be considered an option not only for the improvement of the patient but also to attempt to prevent more serious conditions such as patellofemoral osteoarthritis.…”

“…Since the management of DTs mandates a multidisciplinary approach, imaging plays a pivotal role in the detection and assessment of these lesions. In the correct radiological disease management, multimodality imaging, including ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), should also be preferred concerning the different phases of DTs approaches [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]. In fact, during radiologist work-up, different moments may be considered: detection and characterization, adjacent structures involvement assessment, treatment response evaluation and surveillance [ 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 ].…”
