Description

In this solo episode I discuss the evidence underpinning the use of platelet rich plasma injections for shoulder pain. Platelet rich plasma makes total sense on the surface, but do empirical findings support this? Should we continue down the pathway of research for platelet rich plasma, or move on? Should you recommend it in your practice? What do you say if a patient asks you about it? These are some of the topics we tackle in this short primer on platelet rich plasma for shoulder pain. I hope you enjoy.


Key papers:
