Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has garnered significant attention over the past decade as a promising treatment modality for various musculoskeletal conditions. PRP, an autologous concentration of platelets in plasma, leverages the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The rationale behind PRP therapy is based on the pivotal role of platelets in wound healing and tissue repair through the release of growth factors and cytokines. 

This episode aims to provide a comprehensive review of the evidence supporting the efficacy of PRP in treating musculoskeletal conditions, including tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, muscle injuries, and ligament injuries.
