Summary: | Because of the growth and development of orthobiologics, in particular platelet-rich plasma, as a potential treatment modality in sports related injuries, it is imperative that providers are aware of the up-to-date published data on the usage of this treatment. While some data are promising, prospective studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma treatment for throwing related injuries. There are limitations with all of the published data that include their retrospective nature, heterogeneity between study designs, and platelet-rich plasma characteristics if reported. While platelet-rich plasma may be used as a likely safe adjuvant to conservative and surgical treatments, prospective randomized controlled studies using appropriately reported platelet-rich plasma concentrations and characteristics will help physicians make more definitive recommendations in regard to platelet-rich plasma treatment. Based on the currently available published data, this treatment may be trialed in the right setting and based on severity and location of injury. |
