Treatment of degenerative meniscal tear with intrameniscal injection of platelets rich plasma.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe our preliminary results of intra-meniscal administration of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in patients with degenerative meniscal tears of the knee. ⋯ Intra-meniscal administration of PRP under ultrasound guidance directly into meniscal degenerative lesions is feasible and safe. Further randomized controlled studies are needed to definitely confirm the effectiveness of this procedure.
