PRP in patellar Tendinopathy
-
• 2009 Kon et al. – FU 6 mnths–PRP group (n=20): 3 PRP injections→16/20 (80%) satisfied
• 2012 Gosens et al. – FU 18.4 mnths–PRP group (n=36): 1 PRP injection–Significant improvement in VISA-P
• 2014 Bellaiche et al. – FU 24 mnths–PRP group (n=28): 3 PRP injections→Significant improvement in VISA-P (39 to 94)
Prospective case series
-
In my hands PRP works !!
-
• 2013 Vetrano et al. - AJSM– FU 2, 6, 12 m–PRP group (n=23), 2 injections leucocyte-rich–ESWT group (N=23)
• PRP superior to ESWT (VISA-P):• at 6-months (86 ± 14. vs 74 ± 20;P = .014) • and 12-months (91 ± 10 vs 78 ± 20; P =.026)
• Not superior at 2 months
PRP vs Shock wave: Non-blinded RCT
-
• 2014 Dragoo et al. - AJSM– FU 2, 6 m
–PRP group (n=10): 1 PRP injection leucocyte-rich
–Dry needling group (N=13)
• PRP NOT superior at 6-months
• PRP superior at 2 months (87 ± 14 vs 74 ± 20;P = .014)
RCT PRP vs Dry Needling: Non-blinded
-
• 2019 Scott et al. - AJSM– FU 3, 6, 12 m– LR-PRP group (n=19): 1 PRP injection leucocyte-rich + Rehab– LP-PRP (N=19): 1 PRP injection leucocyte-poor + Rehab–Saline (N=19) + Rehab
• Clinical relevant effect of 13 on VISA-P at 12 weeks:- LR-PRP: 35% improved- LP-PRP: 72%- Saline: 71%
RCT placebo controlled
-
Short-term (2m): no strong evidence to support the use of PRP
Mid-term (6, 12 m): no evidence to support the use of PRP
Best evidence synthesis PRP
-
• Until 2018
• 6 prospective non-randomised cohort study
• 5 RCTs
ESWT in patellar Tendinopathy
-
ESWT in patellar Tendinopathy
-
Focused vs PLACEBO ESWT (VISA-P, VAS pain)
2 RCTs
Moderate level of evidence:
No difference
-
Focused vs Conservative therapy (VISA-P, VAS pain)
1 RCT (no blinding, 2-3 yrs FU)
Conservative: NSAIDs+PT+knee strap+exercise
Superior results for focused
-
Summary ESWT: Low level of evidence for ..
-
NSAIDs in patellar Tendinopathy
Conflicting evidence
Short-term positive effect (1 week)
-
No strong/moderate evidence
to support the use of
PRP injections
ESWT
NSAIDs
