Leaves PRP efficacy and MRI role in acute hamstring injuries unresolved; prospective trials needed.
I investigated (1) the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in acute hamstring injuries in athletes and (2) determined the role of MRI in the management of acute hamstring injuries.⇓ Gustaaf Reurink Acute hamstring injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. Despite this, there was remarkably little evidence from high-quality clinical studies regarding the management of these injuries. ### Treatment of hamstring injury using PRP In sports and exercise medicine, there is growing attention on interventions that provide endogenous growth factors directly to the injury site. These growth factors are claimed to facilitate healing and speed up the return to play (RTP) after musculoskeletal injury. The most …
