Treatment of orthopedic injuries with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is very popular, especially among athletes. Platelet-rich plasma contains cells and growth factors obtained from the patient's own blood, which stimulate tissue regeneration. Thanks to this treatment therapy, the patient can count on a quick, safe and effective recovery. The main indications for the use of platelet-rich plasma are:
