Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a reliable source for obtaining cells to regenerate tissues, with ease of availability inorder to implement and standardize the ideal methodology in centrifugation strength and time for obtaining therapeutic-quality PRP, allowing its application to provide better and rapid recovery of muscular injuries, tendinitis, bone and ligament lesions. To evaluate PRP therapy, 150 patients with muscular lesions, tendinitis, shoulder, knee, ankle, hand and elbow injuries were treated. On application of PRP, we obtained 100% clinically significant symptomatic improvement in all 150 patients treated, who had musculoskeletal and ligament injuries, with a marked reduction of pain and inflammation. We concluded that the ideal concentration for obtaining PRP is at 1000 rpm with a time of 5 min; in addition, under these conditions the plasma lacks leukocytes and erythrocytes. The results were reproducible because the experiment was repeated at two institutions under the same conditions and similar results were obtained. The regeneration obtained in the affected patients is due to the fact that growth factors were released from the activated platelets; these initiate and modulate cicatrization in the tissues, which is a recent innovation to promote cicatrization, accelerating the power of tissue regeneration, with a platelet concentrate suspended in 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.
