- Registration Number
- NCT04040283
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Malaga
- Brief Summary
Meniscal injuries are a common pathology among athletes, and have an impact on the daily or sporting practice of patients. Surgical approach implies sometimes heavy consequences. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) has been shown to be effective in accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration in orthopedic and oral surgery. This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intraarticular and periferal PRP injection in patients with stable meniscal injury. The pre- and post-interventional clinical outcomes will be compared.
