Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

Regenerative Medicine Service

Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group

Regenerative medicine represents an evolving area of orthopedic care that focuses on treatments intended to support the body's natural healing processes. For certain injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, these therapies may provide an additional treatment option as part of a broader care plan.

At CSOG, our specialists evaluate each patient individually to determine whether regenerative medicine may be appropriate for their specific condition. Treatment options may be considered for selected joint, tendon, ligament, and other musculoskeletal problems.

Regenerative medicine is not appropriate for every patient or every condition. When it is considered, our specialists will explain the potential benefits, limitations, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision about your care.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Our blood consists of a liquid component known as plasma. It also consists of three main solid components which include the red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Platelets play an important role in forming blood clots. They also consist of special proteins, known as growth factors, which help with our body’s healing process. Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a high concentration of platelets and plasma. A normal blood specimen contains only 6% platelets, while platelet-rich plasma contains 94% of platelets and 5 to 10 times the concentration of growth factors found in normal blood, thus greater healing properties.

What are the Indications for PRP Injections?

PRP is a relatively new method of treatment for several orthopedic conditions such as muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries; arthritis; and fractures. PRP injections can help alleviate painful symptoms, promote healing, and delay joint replacement surgeries.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedure

Your clinician will draw blood, most typically from a large vein in your arm. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelets from the remaining blood components. The affected part of your body is then injected with the platelet-rich plasma, with ultrasound guidance if needed.

Post-Procedure Care following PRP Injections

It is normal to feel some discomfort at the injection site for a few days after your procedure.

  • You may use cold compresses to alleviate your symptoms.
  • You will be instructed to stop any anti-inflammatory medications.
  • You may resume your normal activities but should avoid any strenuous activities such as heavy lifting or exercises.

Risks and Complications of PRP Injections

There are very minimal risks associated with PRP injections. Some of the potential risks include:

  • Increased pain at the injection site
  • Infection
  • Damage to adjacent nerves or tissues
  • Formation of scar tissue
  • Calcification at the injection site
