Regenerative application for wrist pain: experience of US-guided PRP injection for TFCC injuries

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biological product defined as the plasma fraction of autologous blood with a platelet concentration higher than baseline after centrifugation. Through increased concentrations of many biologically active factors, including various growth factors and cytokines, PRP was reported to be effective in reducing pain, decreasing inflammation, and promoting the healing of damaged tissue for musculoskeletal injuries. Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury is one of the most common causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain and distal radioulnar joint disorder. This session will present clinical experience with ultrasound-guided PRP injection for TFCC injuries.
