Aim: We aimed to expound upon previous research examining the effect of platelet rich plasma in the treatment of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction and pain. Materials & methods: A systematic review was employed in conjunction with a pooled analysis of the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in SIJ dysfunction and pain. Results: A total of 259 articles were retrieved following database systematic review. As a result, four clinical trials and two case studies were subjected to full text appraisal. The dates of publication ranged from 2015 to 2022. Conclusion: Although a unique modality, there is not enough evidence to support the employment of PRP injections over current steroid standard of care. Further double-blinded, randomized control trials are required to elucidate PRP role in SIJ dysfunction.
