Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections represent an innovative therapeutic approach targeting various musculoskeletal issues, particularly those affecting the knee joint. This treatment involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets, rich in growth factors, directly into the affected area, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.

At VGM Ortho Centre, we leverage PRP injections to address a spectrum of knee conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, patellar/quadriceps tendinitis, ligament sprains, and muscle strains. For individuals experiencing knee osteoarthritis, PRP injections offer the potential to alleviate pain and enhance function, particularly in cases up to Grade III severity. It's important to note that for Grade IV osteoarthritis where cartilage loss is extensive, PRP may not yield significant benefits due to insufficient cartilage.

In cases of tendinitis, PRP injections aid in fostering the regeneration of tendon tissue by stimulating new blood vessel formation, complementing tailored physiotherapy programs focused on tendon loading. Additionally, for ligament sprains and muscle strains, PRP injections can expedite the healing process, facilitating quicker recovery and improved mobility.

While PRP treatment presents promising outcomes, its efficacy can vary among individuals, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. Our experienced team at VGM Ortho Centre prioritizes patient care, providing personalized assessments to determine the suitability of PRP injections and guiding individuals through informed treatment decisions.
