Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
for Tennis Elbow
PRP injections deliver concentrated growth factors to the lateral epicondyle tendon, potentially stimulating repair in chronic tennis elbow resistant to other treatments.
How it works
Concentrated growth factors (PDGF, TGF-ÎČ, VEGF) stimulate tenocyte proliferation and new collagen synthesis at the degenerative tendon attachment.
What to watch for
Evidence is mixed â some positive RCTs but overall inconsistent results. Expensive and not PBS-funded. Most appropriate for chronic cases resistant to 3â6 months of conservative management. Must be combined with loading exercise.
