Abstract

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is often used in various fields of medicine. The current state of the art in the use of PRP holds great promise for the development of the methodology, which is due to many aspects that make this procedure simple. PRP can improve the course of many diseases. This article will discuss the impact of PRP on the regenerative properties of muscles. There are many protocols for preparing PRP, each with its own standardised parameters and claimed results. The article presents a review of the literature on the use of platelet-rich plasma, focusing on the definition of PRP, various methods of preparation and activation, as well as the concentration of growth factors.

Keywords: platelet-rich plasma, muscle regeneration, recovery, muscle injuries, tissue repair
