Summary

Meniscal injuries are a common pathology among athletes, and have an impact on the daily or sporting practice of patients. Surgical approach implies sometimes heavy consequences. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) has been shown to be effective in accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration in orthopedic and oral surgery. This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intraarticular and periferal PRP injection in patients with stable meniscal injury. The pre- and post-interventional clinical outcomes will be compared.

Conditions

• Platelet-Rich Plasma
• Meniscus Lesion

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy	Platelet rich plasma (PRP) describes a technique in which platelets are isolated from a sample of a person's own blood using simple cell-separating systems such as centrifugation in order to obtain highly concentrated samples of platelets that can be re-injected into an injury site to promote healing.
