PRP treatment for orthopedics
PRP is a platelet-rich plasma. Platelets are cells that are involved in blood clotting. When activated in our body, they release healing proteins called growth factors. These growth factors accelerate the repair of damage. Simply put PRP is a non-surgical method, it is an injection of a concentrated part of the patient's own blood, platelet-rich blood.
