Impact of platelet-rich plasma injection timing on healing of Achilles tendon injury in a rat model.
RatOtherSprague-DawleyFemalen = 54 rats in total: platelet-rich plasma preparation group n=…Local injection at the tendon injury site150 microlitres per injectionDay following injury (group 1) or third day following injury (group 2)
Model: Surgical Achilles tendon tear
Histological measures were significantly better with immediate platelet-rich plasma injection than with injection on day 3, while biomechanical results for both platelet-rich plasma groups were inferior to control without reaching statistical significance.
