Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma regarding healing, pain and hemostasis after total knee arthroplasty, by means of a blinded randomized controlled and blinded clinical study.MethodsForty patients who were going to undergo implantation of a total knee prosthesis were selected and randomized. In 20 of these patients, platelet-rich plasma was applied before the joint capsule was closed. The hemoglobin (mg/dL) and hematocrit (%) levels were assayed before the operation and 24 and 48 h afte… Show more

“…PRP is currently being used to treat acute and chronic tendinopathies in the clinical and surgical settings [7,8]. It also had been certificated by several studies that PRP could improve wound healing in total knee replacements and rotator cuff injuries [9][10][11]. Recently, the clinical injection application of PRP is widespread in various chronic tendinopathies [8,12] which make injectable PRP gel scaffold possible.…”

“…The use of a less aggressive surgical approach, for example, is now widespread for this purpose but may lead to increased bleeding [ 35 ]. In a previous study, our group showed that the application of platelet-rich plasma in total knee replacement surgery reduced postoperative pain but did not reduce bleeding [ 36 ]. The literature does not show that TXA is effective in controlling pain or movement gain, as our study has shown, in the first 48 hours after the procedure.…”

“…However, other researchers have found that plateletrich plasma does not reduce blood loss in TKA [69][70][71][72] . In a randomized controlled trial, Morishita et al found that there was no significant difference in blood loss between the platelet-rich plasma group and a control group (826.2 mL vs 830.2 mL; P = 0.96) in TKA 72 .…”
