Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Sports MedicineThe Sports Medicine team has tremendous challenges in dealing with torn ligaments and shredded tendons. Muscle tears provide significant obstacles to athletes in their attempts to return to pre-injury status.
As long as I worked in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine, it has been a challenge to seek out the best standards of care - the safest methods of treatment with minimized risk and proven outcomes. Thus is the challenge today in evaluation PRP therapy relative to evidence-based medicine.
The procedure involves a physician taking a small vial of a patient's blood, about 30 milliliters, and spin it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the site of the patient's injury. In theory, the growth factors that platelets secrete (not including human growth hormone) spur tissue recovery.
Like so many treatments, PRP therapy has evolved from other areas of medicine and has been applied since the mid-1990s to aid bone healing after spinal injury and soft tissue recovery following plastic surgery.
