Platelet-rich plasma versus exchange intramedullary nailing in treatment of long bone oligotrophic nonunions
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology Aug 12, 2017
Duramaz A, et al. – In this current study, researchers assessed the impacts of platelet-rich plasma application (PRP) on healing rates and healing time in the treatment of long bone nonunions treated by an intramedullary nail previously. Findings demonstrated a marked impact of PRP application on union rate but, in the treatment of oligotrophic nonunions after intramedullary nailing of long bone fractures, there was no marked difference between PRP and exchange intramedullary nailing (EIN). Outcomes suggested that PRP represents a minimally invasive and safe method, capable of saving resources in medical care instead of EIN.
