Abstract

Basic science studies have consistently shown the beneficial effects of PRP on tendons including increased tendon cell proliferation, increased expression of anabolic genes and proteins, and reduced tendon inflammation. However, the efficacy of PRP in clinical trials is not consistent leading to the controversies regarding the PRP treatment efficacy.
We observed increase in excellent tendons ROM in PRP groups with no significant effects on complication such as infection, rupture or adhesions.
One limitation to our study is the small sample size, a bigger series of cases is recommended
Future plans:
- More studies have to be done on a bigger sample size.
- More studies have to be done on individual growth factors of PRP to show the effects of every factor on tendon healing.
