Musculoskeletal indications

Musculoskeletal indications:

Today, PRP has become one of the mainstays of treating joint and ligament injuries. Treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee in many other cases does not require surgery. Minor ruptures of ligaments and muscles give amazing answers to this treatment. Of course, by accurately determining the indications, those who really need surgery should use the surgical method, which PRP can also help to accelerate recovery.
In studies on knee pain, comparisons between PRP and Hyalgan gels have shown better PRP results and longer lasting effects. It was similar, but over time and in the sixth month, the clinical results and patient satisfaction were staggering. Compared to PRP and corticosteroids in patients with chronic elbow pain, there is a considerable preference in PRP treatment that if you are looking for a difference in PRP treatment, you should follow the results in the long run (one to two years). Although this is not a competitor to surgery, in cases where the physician decides between corticosteroids, hyaline, and PRP, existing scientific reports (especially the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) are more likely to use PRP
 

Enrichment index:

 For optimal PRP, the platelet concentration should be higher than the baseline value, but this direct relationship with the effective dose concentration for injectable cases has been defined as 4-7 times more than baseline count. For orthopedic cases, this dose is about 5±1 times defined.

Injection intervals:

Most studies are done at one-month intervals of this injection, but this interval should not be less than 3 weeks or more than 6 weeks, however, in some studies, these injections have been performed at 2-week intervals. after the injection protocol and achieving the desired clinical results (discussed below), annual reminder doses should not be forgotten.

Expected Results:

In orthopedic applications, especially severe osteoarthritis (DJD) and cases with severe knee deviation - genovarum and genovalgus - more than 20) and in cases of excessive weight gain (BMA˃30), patients do not respond well.

However, it is preferable in less injuries than similar common treatments such as glycosaminoglycans consumption, corticosteroid injection, Hyalgan gel, etc. In these patients with an age range of less than 65 years and preferably under 60 years, expecting an increase in quality of life, Reduction of pain, etc. for one year after the protocol. In other orthopedic applications, including sports injuries, traumas, tendonitis, etc., there are similar results.
