Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has increasing popularity in the treatment and management of tendon healing. The release of growth factors from activated platelets is thought to aid in the healing mechanisms post-trauma. There are, however, no standardised methods and application techniques to allow for efficient comparison between different clinical trial studies. This review summaries the current literature in PRP and tendon, and focuses on one centrifugation technique used by the author. Further studies are required to establish a homogeneous application approach, and to pinpoint the mechanisms behind PRP activity, as firm conclusions for it's efficacy cannot be made from the current literature.
