Abstract
To date the role of PRP in tissue repair is still debated by many authors. Its importance, therefore, is not clarified and its applications are limited. Different authors use the PRP within the joints in order to soothe the pain and as an analgesic, other authors suggest (although in literature there is a lack of comprehensive and significant studies) that the PRP has a role in chondroprotection or chondro-repair. The largest number of studies instead have demon- strated the effectiveness of PRF to accelerate the repair of myotendinous injury and at the same time ensure an early recovery of joint function thanks to the decrease or even the absence of pain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
