MENIPREP STUDY : EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRP INJECTION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DEGENERATIVE MENISCAL LESIONS: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL DOUBLE BLIND VERSUS REFERENCE TREATMENT"

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2021-09-01

Summary

Meniscal tissue has very limited intrinsic properties in terms of repair, given the low mitotic activity of chondrocytes and poor vascularization. Nevertheless, its capacity for regeneration, in vivo and in vitro, can be stimulated by the contribution of growth factors, as has been widely described in the medical and scientific literature. Platelet Enhanced Plasma (PRP) is an autologous biological product (that is, derived from the patient's blood) containing a growth factor concentrate. The contribution of these growth factors stimulates cartilage repair by stimulating neovascularization, collagen synthesis and activation of chondrocytes. Intra-articular injection PRP is an autologous biological product, now used in daily practice for the treatment of early osteoarthritic lesions.

The hypothesis of this work is that the injection of PRP in contact with LMD(Degenerative Meniscal Lesions) will improve the clinical symptomatology of our patients compared to reference treatment (intra-auricular injection of corticosteroids).
