Toward Standardized Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Tendon Healing: Integrating Biological Characterization with Clinical Translation
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as one of the most extensively investigated orthobiologic therapies for tendon disorders because of its potential to modulate inflammation, enhance extracellular matrix remodeling, and promote tissue regeneration through the delivery of concentrated platelets and bioactive molecules. However, despite compelling biological rationale and encouraging preclinical evidence, clinical outcomes remain inconsistent across different tendon pathologies. This narrative review critically e …
