Study Overview

Brief Summary

To review the influence of patient derived PRGF on the healing process of Achilles tendon after a surgical correction of a complete tear.

Detailed Description

Autologous platelet-rich matrices may aid in post surgical patients by promoting and accelerating tissue healing because of the release of growth factors including transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) from platelet alpha-granules.
