How it works
High concentration of growth factors (PDGF, TGF-ÎČ, VEGF) stimulates tenocyte proliferation and new collagen synthesis. Most effective for mid-portion tendinopathies with established degenerative changes.
Evidence is mixed and generally shows PRP is not superior to exercise alone. Most effective when combined with a concurrent loading programme. Expensive and not PBS-funded. Requires specialist injection.
