Tendons are vital component of our musculoskeletal system that link between the dynamic and the static part transmitting the forces generated by muscles to bony attachments producing joint motion and stabilize joints. Chronic painful tendon disorders are common in athletic and sedentary individuals. Tendon degeneration may occur when tissue breakdown exceeds the rate of tissue healing due to extrinsic factors such as tendon overload, excessive mechanical stimulation, training errors, fatigue or chemical stresses. Choices of treatment often change in parallel with physiopathological discoveries regarding tendinopathy. Platelets Riched plasma (PRP) is defined as a volume of the plasma fraction of autologous blood having a platelet concentration of 5 times more than base line. Injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is considered a promising new treatment in management of tendinopathy. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are widely accepted by patients because the injection is produced from the patient's own blood and the risk of adverse effects is minimal. The aim of this Syistimic Review is to highlight on the recent trends in management of tendinopathy, especially platelet rich plasma.
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.
