CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS WITH PRP: STATE OF THE ART

Sažetak
Tendinopathy presents a significant challenge in medicine, often arising from mechanical overload and proving resistant to conventional treatments. The emergence of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a beacon of hope where traditional therapies like NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, eccentric rehabilitation, and shock waves have fallen short. PRP, derived from autologous blood through centrifugation to concentrate platelets, holds promise due to its rich abundance of growth factors and cytokines, which harbor potential anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Following an intratendinous PRP injection, management and recommendations vary greatly among physicians. In the absence of studies comparing different rehabilitation protocols, identifying the ideal post-injection rehabilitation remains challenging. Although
some consensus exists in the literature regarding post-procedure protocols, the underlying rationale for these recommendations remains somewhat limited. In this context, we advocate for a protocol grounded in the various phases of connective tissue healing and principles of optimized active tendon rehabilitation. This involves exercises that facilitate a gradual increase in the mechanical load applied to the tendon, representing the most appropriate approach.
