31 CONCLUSIONS! Intralesional PRP-Injections! Appear to be easy and safe!! PRP + controlled exercise program! Return to racing least 3 consecutive years! Performance consistent with a normal, aging race horse! Exact contribution of each component difficult to determine!! PRP may! Provide growth factors! that encourage ligament healing similar to tendon healing! Represent an alternative/adjunctive for MSD!

32 CONCLUSIONS!! Further studies needed! To clearly prove efficacy! Create defect!!! PRP + Exercise vs. Exercise only! Biochemistry + Histology of healing tissue! Long-term with greater patient material!! In combination with stem cells?! Enhances their proliferation!! Other systems?! More effective/less expensive?! DePuy Symphony, Biomet GPS TM!
