Abstract

Purpose of review

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains numerous growth factors and cytokines that potentially offer an alternative treatment modality to assist in the healing of multiple musculoskeletal issues. The purpose of this review was to examine the latest literature on the use of PRP for various ligament and tendon pathologies.

Recent findings

Recent literature has shown moderate- to high-quality evidence that PRP can have positive clinical effects in certain conditions such as lateral epicondylitis and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Prospective studies have shown that it can also be useful in the treatment of patella tendinopathy.

Summary

In summary, we found PRP to have variable success in ligament and tendon pathology; however, it should be considered a viable option in chronic musculoskeletal disease that has failed other treatments. Patient selection, duration of symptoms, and combining with other modalities such as physical therapy should all be taken into consideration in treatment with PRP.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
