1 Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Dania Segreti, SPT Vanguard In-service - July 31, 2013

2 What is PRP? In medicine since 1970s First uses in bone healing began in late 1990s Gained popularity for tissue healing in early 2000s Blood derived, autologous substance with high plasma concentration Normal blood sample: 93% RBC, 6% platelets, 1% WBC PRP blood sample: 6% RBC, 93% platelets, 1% WBC

3 PRP Applications Commercial preparation of PRP result in various versions Leukocyte rich vs. leukocyte poor Ideal makeup not yet determined Direct application Single or multiple injections Gel Collagen sponge

4 Creating PRP Can only be made from anticoagulated blood Citrate is added to whole blood 2 centrifugation steps: 1. Separation of RBC & WBC from plasma & platelets 2. Further concentration of platelets Substance added to activate clotting mechanism once injected* Thrombin CaCl 2 Type 1 collagen

5 Clotting Mechanism Substances Thrombin Allows approx. 70% growth factors released within 10 minutes 100% within 1 hour Platelets may produce additional small amounts of growth factors during the rest of lifespan Can cause complications formation of antibodies

6 Clotting Mechanism Substances CaCl 2 platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) Added during 2 nd centrigugation step Prothrombin -----CaCl > autologous thrombin Results in a dense fibrin matrix = slower platelet activation ~ 7 days

7 Clotting Mechanism Substances Type I collagen Allows injection of PRP not yet activated Followed by collagen injection Equally effective as thrombin in stimulating growth factors Decreased risk of clot formation compared to thrombin

8 How PRP works 3 stages: 1. Activation Thrombin CaCl 2 type 1 collagen 2. Secretion Alpha and dense granules stimulate 3 stages of healing 3. Aggregation of WBC

9 Mishra A, Pavelko T. Treatment of chronic elbow tendinosis with buffered platelet-rich plasma. Am J Sports Med. 2006;34(11): Elbow Tendinopathy/Lateral Epicondylitis Failed with conservative treatment 20 patients: 15 received PRP 5 received local anesthetic control Of those who received PRP: 60% showed improvement at 8 weeks 81% at 6 months 93% at follow up (12-38 months) 99% were able to return to ADLs Control group: 3/5 sought treatment outside of study after 8 weeks

10 Strengths No adverse effects or complications reported One of few studies to have a control group Used human subjects Critiques Small sample size (n=20) 60% attrition rate Not randomized Not blinded Rehab protocol: Standard eccentric strengthening and functional progressions Return to activities over 6-8 week when full ROM is achieved and localized pain or tenderness has diminished Not necessary to immobilize elbow post injection

11 Sánchez M, Anitua E, Cugat R, et al. Nonunions treated with autologous preparation rich in growth factors. J Orthop Trauma. 2009;23(1): Acute Achilles tendinopathy in athletes n=12 6 received PRP treatment, 6 control PRP was applied in 2 ways per subject: CaCl 2 added to PRP and sat externally for 30 mins allowing matrix to form Matrix directly incorporated into Achilles repair CaCl 2 added to PRP then immediately sprayed onto repair just prior to closure PRP treatment group showed a larger ROM and earlier return to activity (+ 4-7 wks) then control

12 Strengths No adverse effects or complications reported One of few studies to have a control group Used human subjects Critiques: Small sample size Not randomized Rehab Protocol: Braced No athletic activity AROM and AAROM solely in plantar/dorsiflexion plane initiated immediately Gradual standard progression of strengthening Gradual return to activities over 6-8 weeks depending on size/severity of lesion

13 Barrett S, Erredge S. Growth factors for chronic plantar fasciitis. Podiatry Today. 2004;17: Chronic refractory plantar fasciitis n=9 Participants underwent washout 90-day period prior to PRP injection: No brace No NSAIDS No corticosteroids 6 of 9 patients were asymptomatic after 2 months The other 3 achieved this same status after a second PRP injection At 1 year: 77.9% were still asymptomatic

14 Strengths No adverse effects or complications reported Used human subjects Critiques No control group Small sample size Rehab protocol: Immediate WB Standard rehab program for strengthening Gradual return to activities over 6-8 weeks More of a gradual training schedule for running athletes

15 Kajikawa Y, Morihara T, Sakamoto H, et al. Platelet-rich plasma enhances the initial mobilization of circulation-derived cells for tendon healing. J cell Physiol. 2008;215(3): Patellar Tendinopathy AKA Jumper s knee Histologically the tendon attained increased levels of types I and III collagen and macrophages Strengths: No adverse effects Critiques: Not performed on human subjects Small sample size (n=3) No control group

16 Postinjection protocol: Standard rehab for strength Gradual return to activities over 6-8 weeks Consisten use of ice, especially in early stages Criteria to return to sport: Painless full ROM Ability to tolerate ascending and descending stairs

17 Berghoff W, Pietrzak W, Rhodes R. Platelet-rich plasma application during closure following total knee arthroplasty. Orthopedics. 2006;29(7): Total Knee Arthroplasty N= received PRP 66 were control PRP mixed with thrombin and Cacl 2 sprayed into knee just prior to closure Intervention group demonstrated: Higher post-op hemoglobin levels Shorter hospital stays At 6-week follow up had significantly greater knee ROM

18 Strengths Used human subjects Control group Large sample size Critiques Unconventional PRP preparation

19 Murray MM, Spindler KP, Abreu E, et al. Collagen-platelet rich plasma hydrogel enhances primary repair of the porcine anterior cruciate ligament. J Orthop Res. 2007;25(1): ACL Reconstruction Treated with collagen-prp hydrogel at ACL transection site Showed improvement in: Load at yield Maximum load Stiffness at 4 weeks post-op

20 Strengths No adverse effects Critiques No human subjects Small sample size

21 Sánchez M, Anitua E, Azofra J, Aguirre JJ, Andia I. Intra-articular injection of an autologous preparation rich in growth factors for the treatment of knee OA: a retrospective cohort study. Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2008;26(5): Osteoarthritis n=40 Treated with 3 separate intra-articular PRP injection Outcome measures showed significant improvement in visual analog pain scale and subjective functional scales at 6-month follow up Patients under 60 years showed 85% satisfaction Patients over 60 years showed 33% satisfaction

22 Strengths Human subjects Critiques Small sample size Not randomized

23 Bottom Line PRP is a promising, but not yet proven treatment for joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle repair PRP is autologous simple administration Current studies suggest an excellent safety profile No standardized method of producing PRP in place conflicting results in studies

24 Bottom Line Local anesthetics may change ph environment which could change effects of PRP Multiplaner injection technique recommended to accommodate larger surface area hours post injection patients are encouraged to ice and elevate limb for pain and inflammation control No NSAIDS within first 2 weeks after injection may inhibit prostaglandin pathway
