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 trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood platelets) after ACL reconstruction helps with healing and reduces pain. It's for people who recently had ACL surgery and want to try an extra treatment to improve recovery.
This study compares standard ACL knee reconstruction using a peroneus longus tendon graft to the same procedure plus an injection of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrated portion of your blood that may help healing). It aims to see if adding the plasma improves knee function after surgery.
This trial tests if platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into and around the knee joint can reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help knee arthritis in both younger and older adults. If you have knee pain from arthritis and haven't had other treatments recently, you might be able to join.
This trial tests using your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from a blood sample, as an injection to treat knee osteoarthritis in active young adults. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and helps you stay active.
