Abstract
Platelet Rich Plasma and Orthopedics: Why, When, and How.
Highlights
Studies presented in this special issue cover topics ranging from preclinical to clinical research of platelet rich plasma (PRP) technology in different tissues
The scientific community has been developing new areas of research that have fuelled the emergence of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering bringing into the spotlight treatments such as those based on stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP)
PRP application for an acute injury like a bone fracture is different from treating a chronic injury such as a tendinopathy and different again from approaching a degenerative problem such as osteoarthritis. This lack of consensus is the reason for the title of this special issue. Studies presented in this special issue cover topics ranging from preclinical to clinical research of PRP technology in different tissues
Summary
Studies presented in this special issue cover topics ranging from preclinical to clinical research of PRP technology in different tissues. Orthopedic and sports medicine is making a great effort in promoting the use of minimally invasive techniques aimed at arresting or slowing down the aging and degeneration of several tissues. The scientific community has been developing new areas of research that have fuelled the emergence of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering bringing into the spotlight treatments such as those based on stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP).
