Summary

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentration of human platelets in a small volume of plasma.

Because it is an autogenous preparation, PRP is inherently safe and therefore free from concerns over transmissible diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.

Its power of regeneration already proved by orthopedics and dentists in their trials to regenerate cartilages .We will use it to know its ability to enhance healing of sternum in vulnerable patients to sternal dehiscence after open heart surgery .
