Perspectives on Improving the Efficacy of PRP Treatment for Tendinopathy
Journal Title: Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), popularly called PRP, is almost like a "house-hold" name these days because of its wide recognition by physicians and patients due to its prevalent use. The popularity of PRP is due to its efficacy in treating chronic tendon injury (or tendinopathy) in some clinical studies. It is particularly preferred by elite athletes because PRP injections were reported to accelerate healing and enable quicker return to sport activities.
