Conclusions

1) PRGF® injections produced no detectable adverse

effect on tendon healing and general health of

animals.

2) Tendons treated with PRGF® showed an

improvement in the tendon healing process both at

4 and at 8 weeks in the Achilles tendon rupture

experimental model in the study.

3) PRGF® injections produced a better

organization of collagen fibres and less intense

inflammation than infiltration with saline.

without platelet-rich plasma 2013

1) PRGF group shows earlier donor site regeneration with statistically

significant differences at 4 month follow-up. No statistically significant

differences were found within tendinous maturation and regeneration both

during first months and beyond 6th month

2) PRGF group presents less pain at the donor site, with statistically significant

differences during the first 4 months of follow-up, with a strong trend towards

6th month although without statistical significance

general quality of life index, as well as in specific, sports return or objective

parameters such as KT-1000 or maturation grades of the graft measured with

MRI

4) More patients in the PRGF group attained higher stages of remodelling at

month 4 (p=0.003), month 6 (p=0.0001), and month 12 (p=0.354)

5) PRGF and control groups did not differ significantly in terms of age,

comorbidities, sex, height, weight, and postoperative swelling and

complications

Conclusions

Page 34: Eficacia de los Tratamientos Biológicos: Factores de ... · Eficacia de los Tratamientos Biológicos: Factores de Crecimiento y Células ... improvement in the tendon healing process

The application of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF®-

Endoret) in bone fractures, delayed unions and nonunions

should be seen as beneficial in the acceleration of the

healing process

Tendons treated with PRGF®-Endoret showed an

improvement in the healing process

PRGF®-Endoret injections produced a better organization

of collagen fibres and less intense inflammation

PRGF®-Endoret in ACL Injuries, accelarate healing &

decrease pain

GFs obtain hyaline-like cartilage

Muscle hypertrophy does not occur locally or systemically

after local injection of PRGF®-Endoret

Conclusions

Page 35: Eficacia de los Tratamientos Biológicos: Factores de ... · Eficacia de los Tratamientos Biológicos: Factores de Crecimiento y Células ... improvement in the tendon healing process

GFs + Cells + Scaffolds + Enviroment = Good Setting

ADRCs express growth factors in response to the environment around

them

Growth factors express change as the environment changes and

promote healing through transient modulation of:

Angiogenesis

Chemotaxis

Cell proliferation & Differentiation

Synthesis of ECM

We still have a long way to go but regeneration is the path to

follow
