Two patients report significant pain relief after platelet-rich plasma injections for facet-mediated pain, indicating a potential alternative to corticosteroids.

Key Points

To explore the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma injections for treating post-traumatic lumbar facet-mediated pain.
Presented two patients with post-traumatic low back pain localized to lumbar facet joints who received PRP injections.
Injections targeted L3–4, L4–5, and L5–S1 facet joints based on pain localization.
Follow-up assessments at 6 weeks recorded pain relief outcomes.
Patient one reported 60% pain relief after PRP injection in L3–4 and L4–5 joints.
Patient two reported 70% sustained pain relief after PRP injection in L4–5 and L5–S1 joints.
No complications were observed in either case.
