► Hypertonic dextrose most common injectant

tissue
► Prolotherapy with an irritant solution causes
a local healing response…

Platelet Rich Plasma Biology
Growth Factors
Due to relative avascularity, tendons may lack adequate
growth factors for healing
PRP contains Growth Factors
○ Platelet Derived Growth Factor
Chemoattractant for WBCs, macrophages, stem cells
○ Transforming Growth Factor-beta
Promotes cell proliferation
Increases Type 1 collagen synthesis in tendon
○ Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Angiogenesis
○ Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, Connective Tissue Growth Factor,
○ Epidermal Growth Factor, Insulin Like Growth Factor-1
○ Many other bio-active factors
BONE MARROW ASPIRATE CONCENTRATE
Bone marrow aspirate from iliac crest or tibia is then concentrated and can be used as stem cell therapy for injection into the joints for regeneration of cartilage. This would soon be a reality.
