Chapters

There was a group in the Philippines where they looked at about 300 people that had debilitating arthritis that was scheduled for surgery, and they offered them PRP injections, or PRF, in this case injections. They used two tubes of blood, made a PRF PRP combination, and injected the knee. And at two months, if they did not have a 50% improvement, they said, okay, go ahead and go surgery. They had a better than 50% but less than 80%. They'd say, well, let's do it again at month six. And if they had more than 80%, they said, well, come in when your knee pain comes back. And they followed the patients for three years. What they found at the end of the study is the grade three and four arthritis. The majority of people, four out of five, did not meet the criteria for surgery anymore.
