Abstract :
Objective: To assess functional outcome & results of injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in Medial epicondylitis. Design: Prospective clinical study with 3 months of follow–up. Methods: Clinically proven fifteen patients of rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) participating in study included in study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria on OPD basis after getting written and informed consent , treated by 3 mL of autologous PRP intra lesionally by single author* , evaluation of functional outcome and results done by visual analog scale (VAS) 0–10 points (at baseline, 1 month and 3 months interval). Results: Fifteen patients participated in study and reported improvement in VAS score from 7.10.8 points pretreatment level to 0.70.4 points at three months post PRP injection follow up, improvement in functional outcome was also clinically as well as statistically significant. Mean analgesic use declined from 6.32.1 units/week pretreatment level to 0.60.2 units/week at three month post PRP injection follow up. Conclusions: A single injection of autologous PRP is safe and effective mean of treatment of refractory Medial epicondylitis .
