Systematic review evaluates combined effect of platelet-rich plasma and bone graft on bone healing outcomes, suggesting significant improvements.
Key Points
This systematic review aims to assess the impact of combining platelet-rich plasma with bone grafts on bone healing outcomes compared to standard treatments.
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
Explored articles from databases like PubMed and ScienceDirect over the last ten years.
Extracted data on study design, sample size, and outcomes from selected studies.
Identified seven studies with a total of 455 samples.
Functional scores were consistently higher in PRP groups, particularly the Harris Hip Score.
VAS scores were significantly lower in PRP groups at final follow-ups.
Healing and union rates were higher in PRP groups compared to controls.
PRP groups had shorter healing durations and lower complication rates than control groups.
