Abstract:
The most common sports injury is trauma to the skeletal muscles, with injuries to ligaments, muscles, tendons, joint capsules or cartilage and minor injuries to other chronic soft tissues, accounting for 97% of all cases. These injuries directly affect athletes′ performance, shorten their athletic career, and also impede the daily life and work of the general public. Surgical and non-surgical interventions often fail to meet the demands for quick recovery, and patients with sports injury may experience joint stiffness, limited range of motion, and pain-related functional impairments. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has a role in the promotion of tissne regeneration, regulation of immune response and suppression of inflammation. PRP-based regenerative rehabilitation technology offers new possibilities for rapid recovery of patients with sports injury. However, there have been few reports on the combined application of PRP and principles/methods of rehabilitation medicine. To this end, the authors summarized the history of regenerative rehabilitation medicine, explored the feasibility of PRP-based regenerative rehabilitation technology in the treatment of sports injuries, and discussed the application prospects of PRP-based regenerative rehabilitation technology regarding the joint, muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries.
