The use of platelet-rich plasma to augment conservative and surgical treatment of hip and pelvic disorders.
Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons Journal 2016 July
BACKGROUND: In recent years, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained popularity within the orthopaedic community as a treatment modality to enhance tissue healing.
PURPOSE: This review aims to concisely present the current indications for PRP injections in the treatment of hip and pelvic pathologies and to describe some novel applications for PRP which have not yet been reported in the literature.
METHODS: We reviewed the literature on the non-operative and operative indications for PRP in the treatment of hip and pelvic pathologies.
CONCLUSIONS: With regard to hip and pelvic pathologies, PRP injections are used most commonly as a non-operative intervention, and have been described in the literature to treat osteoarthritis of the hip joint as well as tendinopathy of the hamstrings, adductor longus, and gluteus medius. In contrast, most of the surgical applications of PRP for the hip are novel, with few reported studies in the literature. Because of the increasing awareness of PRP's beneficial effects on musculoskeletal healing and thus the growing number of indications for its use, this review also describes some novel applications for PRP, including osteitis pubis, post-microfracture of the hip, tears of the rectus femoris, and avulsion of the sartorius muscle.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
