Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a novel tool that seeks to take advantage of the natural healing properties of the patient's blood to repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles or even bones. It is normally used for osteoarthritis; but it is also used in arthritis, osteochondritis, tendinitis, tendinosis, enthesopathy, plantar fasciitis, among others.
