Uso del plasma rico en plaquetas en cirugía ligamentosa de rodilla

Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery: Systematic Review of the Literature

“…We searched studies, written in the English and Spanish languages, fulfilling the following eligibility criteria: (1) The study compared the use of PRP with a control group (standard reconstruction) in patients with ACL injuries. (2) The main study outcome was to assess whether there were any differences in graft-to-bone healing, graft maturation, and/or clinical outcomes in ACL-reconstructed patients with or without the use of PRP.…”

“…This centrifugate is known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 1 One promising field of PRP use is sports medicine, 2,3 and important research has been performed regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures, [4][5][6][7] assuming that the success of ACL reconstruction depends heavily on biological processes that could improve the outcomes and ensure optimal clinical results.…”

“…Within this group is platelet-derived growth factor, which though known for more than 30 years, started to be used in orthopaedic surgery in the 1990s, reaching recognition in the 21st century. 1 The platelet-derived growth factor that is used today in medical practice is obtained from autologous blood centrifugation, leading to a concentrate with 3 to 5 more platelets than normal blood. This centrifugate is known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP).…”
