Web-Based Portrayal of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Orthopedic Therapy

The quality of online health information on knee osteoarthritis varies significantly between countries speaking different languages. Differential access to quality, accurate, and safe health information online may represent a novel but important health inequality. Future efforts are needed to translate online health resources into additional languages. In the interim, patients may seek websites that display the HON seal.

Tendinopathy and chronic tendon issues related to tendinosis are conditions difficult to treat. These conditions often lead to patients' quality of life declining because of the inability to participate in exercise, occupation-related activities, and activities of daily living. By better understanding the pathophysiology related to the development of tendinosis, clinicians will be better able to understand the treatment options available and their limitations while allowing novel therapies to be developed. Conservative treatment of tendinosis starting with a sound rehabilitation program seems to be the best place to start while reserving surgical approaches for cases that have failed conservative management.

Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is the most common cause of elbow pain. This degenerative condition can manifest as an acute process lasting < 3 months or a chronic process often refractory to treatment. Symptom resolution occurs in 70% to 80% of patients within the first year. A "watch-and-wait" approach can be an appropriate treatment option, although physical therapy has been shown to be an effective first-line therapy. Corticosteroids, while providing relief of pain in the acute setting, may be detrimental to recovery in the long term. Platelet-rich plasma injections, although recently well publicized, have not been proven by well-controlled clinical trials to be effective therapy. For patients with symptoms refractory to conservative management, surgical intervention has shown to be a successful treatment modality.

Web-Based Portrayal of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Orthopedic Therapy

Abstract: Our data indicate that some Web-based references to PRP therapy are biased and inaccurate. We are concerned that some readers will misinterpret such easily available, but poorly controlled, information, potentially leading to use of unproven therapies.
