Abstract

Platelet rich plasma has been an extremely hot topic in the sports medicine community in the recent years. In part due to high profile athletes partaking in PRP treatment instead of traditional treatment for their injuries. This paper examines current human PRP literature, some animal literature, and explores the science behind PRP.
