Abstract
As long as a consensus has not been reached concerning the methods applied for preparing PRP, the concentrations used, the activation method, and the formulation, it will be difficult to compare studies, despite their high level of proof, and to affirm that PRP has a beneficial effect on repair of different body tissues. Use of PRP therapy for cartilage injury is now a validated option for pain relief, especially in young patients after failure of hyaluronic acid. The delay of action is long (at least 6 months). Injection formulations are easy to use, well tolerated and safe. Cost is relatively low.
