Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection For Patellar Tendon Tear - Alternative To An Orthopedic Surgery

[@chrisw2521]

Just had this done for tendonitis near my right elbow. No ultrasound, no local, extremely painful procedure. Hopefully it works...

[@Anonomyous-cg1ye]

any improvements yet?

[@chrisw2521]

@@Anonomyous-cg1ye No, unfortunately. I believe people generally have good results with this procedure but if I could do it again it would be with a different specialist. I would also find one who uses an ultrasound.

Lidocaine in the same location prior to PRP? Decreasing the efficacy of your PRP

[@gibby35412]

Does the injection typically hurt? Do you cause an injury to draw the blood to the area?

[@KT-000]

I just got my first prp injection to my left patellar tendon. Not to scare anyone, but the injection itself was more painful than I anticipated. Nothing you dudes can’t handle, but fair warning there’s no numbing of the tendon lol. I’d rather take a needle poke without the lidocaine than another second of them injection lol.

@@KT-000 a serious question tho fam how can that help a ruptured tendon like it isn’t there anymore ?

Hello, how was the repair for it? Did it work long term ​@@KT-000

@@JD-hh2qb ~20% better but cannot get fully back to activity as before. Heard you need it to do it multiple times, but couldn’t afford $1000 each session.

@@KT-000 thanks for the quick reply! How many injections did you have? How is the pain now ?

Do you recommend this for patellar tendonitis? If so how long before a patient would notice a difference? Would prp work for ankle peroneal tendonitis?

[@analogaudiorules1724]

I like how the lady replied to everyone but you lol, but anyway, it can work for peroneal tendonitius, the first shot and sometimes the 2nd wont make big differences, everything i read it can take two and even sometimes 3 shots to start feeling a difference, they usually will be given in like one month or so intervals, especially after the first one ull have to rest for like a week after. I'm going to be getting prp at some point, as ive had petellar tendonitis for over a year and a half now, and faild pt therapy in the beginning, my knee was actually doing better for a few months but just today the stupid lil petellar tendon started getting inflamed again.... the humanbody is a terribly designd oragnism, evolution is mentally challenged... tendons and ligaments are so important yet they heal so horribly...

@Tyler Bush How was that experience for you? I plan on getting PRP as well due to basketball and I currently have discomfort during daily activities and slight pain after physical activities.

[@shpetimmulaj8154]

@Tyler Bush how was your experience with prp, did it actually work, is your patella healed now ?

[@wardshehada1170]

Really interested in this where you located ? And how can I tell if it’s torn or if it’s just tendinitis

[@precisioncaremedical]

We’re located in Brooklyn, NY. And you need imaging to determine if you have a tear or not

[@dylanpensado9863]

Would this work for a tear that’s 1cm in length on the patellar tendon ?

[@bull5919]

she's treating one that's that size or bigger

[@Requiem4Tuesday]

Why was the needle blocked out?

[@precisioncaremedical]

Requiem for a Tuesday because we use this video for Facebook also and Facebook doesn’t allow medical procedures to be shown

[@pault477]

What are the success rates doctor?

[@eric204]

nice work!

[@precisioncaremedical]

eric204 thank you

[@everydayeasyrecipes2650]

Would prp help with pelvic bone pain?

[@Tazewell92]

I’d recommend hyaluronic acid for the hip. *not an MD*

[@overlandoffroadadventures8980]

What is the success rate of this to heal a muscle tear?

[@precisioncaremedical]

There are many variables that determine success, such as the degree of tear, if the patient follows all instructions following the procedure, but overall we've had very positive results.
