The effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on recovery in acute hamstring injuries is still being better understood. Authors set out to assess the treatment effect using a combination of hematoma aspiration and muscle strain PRP injection in partial hamstring muscle tears (grade 2 strains) in athletes.
At Thomas Jefferson University, MRIs of athletes with grade 2 hamstring strains were reviewed from 2013 to 2018.
How was the study performed?
A combination of ultrasound-guided hematoma aspiration and PRP muscle strain injection with PRP was performed.
Days to Return-to-play and injury recurrence rate was compared between both groups (conservative vs aspiration/PRP)
What did the authors find?
Athletes with grade 2 hamstring strains treated with a combination of hematoma aspiration and PRP injection had a significantly shorter return-to-play and a lower recurrence rate compared with athletes receiving conservative treatment.
In summary, aspiration of the hematoma followed by PRP injection resulted in a quick return to play!
