Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter tore his MCL in November and chose a PRP injection to treat it. He explains how platelet-rich plasma works as an anti-inflammatory to help soft tissue heal, and how doctors can adjust the cell counts to customize the treatment.
All right, everybody.
So here we are. I told you. I'm going to get a PRP injection for my left knee. I tore my MCL in November. And if anybody's had an MCL injury, they know it's painful and it's a long process and it can take several months to get better. There's a lot of.
Variation in what we can do with our biologics treatments. We can aim at just treating inflammation, we can treat inflammation and tissue damage. We can augment healing.
There's a lot of ways that we.
Can adjust the settings and the cell counts to optimize your healing.
And so for me, for my knee, we're going to do.
Just platelet rich plasma into my knee joint.
We're doing that because it's a very potent anti inflammatory.
Also helps the soft.
Tissues to remodel, and can.
Heal some intra articular injuries.
