Intraarticular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections involve extracting a patient's own blood, concentrating the platelets, and reinjecting the platelet-rich plasma into injured tissues like tendons or ligaments. PRP contains growth factors that promote healing. A typical treatment involves 3 weekly injections of 3-8 mL of PRP with ultrasound guidance. PRP appears safe but may cause minor temporary discomfort. While PRP shows promise for cartilage injuries, its benefits are usually limited and best for younger patients without advanced tissue degeneration.
