Assessment of the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Traumatic Canine Fractures

Abstract: The role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in promoting the healing of bone fractures has not yet been clearly stated. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF, a PRP derivate) in the treatment of naturally-occurring bone fractures in dogs. With this objective, sixty-five dogs with radius/ulna or tibia/fibula bone fractures were randomly divided into two groups (PRGF and saline solution (SS) groups) and checked at days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35,… Show more

“…Intra-articular injection of PRP also prevented cytotoxic effect of lidocaine on chondrocytes [48] Thus, intra-articular injections of PRP can be useful in angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling, cell proliferation, and differentiation for osteoarthritis [12,13,15,16]. Applications of PRP in fracture repair had been shown in both dogs [49] and rabbit [48] by promoting bone healing. Interestingly, injection of PRP also promoted wound healing of soft tissue defects [50,51] as well as periodontal regeneration [52].…”

“…Nine in vivo preclinical studies (55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63) enrolled in this systematic review investigated the effect of PRP in the animal fracture model. The risk of bias of in vivo preclinical studies in this study was independently evaluated by two reviewers.…”

“…Clinical and radiological follow-up was done at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 18 months ( Figure 3 ). Each radiograph was evaluated by a stage score from 1 to 5 points (1, not visible callus formation; 2, barely visible callus formation; 3, scattered, not homogeneous calluses; 4, uniform, mature callus formation; 5, very active, hypertrophic callus formation) ( 17 ). Bone formation was also quantified morphometrically with Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe, San Jose, CA, USA) and OLYMPUS CellSens Dimension 1.15 (Olympus Corporation, Japan) ( Figure 4 ).…”
