Abstract
Current literature does not suggest that PRP treatment improves ACL clinical outcomes. However, PRP preparations are heterogeneous, and PRP clinical investigation is affected by an infinite number of confounding variables. In addition, PRP is but one type of biologic stimulant. PRP may have benefits for ACL surgery, but clinical evidence is in its infancy.
