Platelet-rich plasma for ankle cartilage injury
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special preparation of your own blood, called platelet-rich plasma (PRP), can help heal a cartilage or bone injury inside the ankle joint. PRP is injected directly into the ankle to reduce pain and improve healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 59 years old.
- You must have a confirmed injury to the cartilage or bone inside your ankle, seen on an X-ray or MRI.
- You must be experiencing ankle pain.
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have an ankle infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgery called microfracture (making tiny holes in the bone to help new cartilage grow) combined with a gel made from your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat a small ankle cartilage injury. The goal is to see if adding PRP gel improves healing and reduces pain.
This study tests whether an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help heal muscle, tendon, or joint problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments like physical therapy or medications.
This study tests whether PRP (platelet-rich plasma) given after an ACL injury and surgery can lower the chance of developing long-term knee arthritis. It may help protect the knee over time by targeting early healing after ACL reconstruction.
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood can help knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or injuries to the cartilage and meniscus. It may be an option if you are between 20 and 60 years old and have not had recent steroid shots or certain health problems.
This study tests two different ways of preparing platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) to see which one works better for knee osteoarthritis. You'll also do physical therapy as part of the study.
This trial tests whether a shot of your own concentrated platelets (PRP) into the knee improves healing after a recent ACL injury. It's for people with mild to moderate ACL tears and no major other knee damage.
