Biologic Approaches to Problems of the Hand and Wrist.
Orthopedic Clinics of North America 2017 July

PRP has been reported to produce improvements in the outcomes of distal radial fractures and osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal in small numbers of patients. The use of orthobiologics in the hand and wrist are promising, but clinical trials are necessary to establish efficacy and safety.
