Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an attractive novel option to promote healing and accelerate recovery after injury. We present a review of the current literature on PRP, highlighting the evidence for and against its use in orthopedic surgery. We recommend that PRP is used as part of prospective randomized studies so that its true efficacy can be determined in a scientific manner.
