Abstract

Objective: To determine if platelet rich plasma has an effect on improvement in healing, function, and pain levels in orthopedic conditions. Methods: The studies included were a triple blinded randomized control study, randomized control trials, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews. Results: Overall through this research, there is limited evidence on PRP injections for healing purposes, however a significant amount of evidence shows improvement in both function and pain levels with PRP injections over time. Conclusion: The use of PRP injections have shown optimal results over time for both pain and function, however more research is needed to be conducted with a larger sample size to increase the validity of the findings.Keywords: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Healing, Function, Pain, Orthopedic Conditions
