Platelet
Rich Plasma Prolotherapy
Helps Client Get Back To Extreme Martial Arts Training
A 40-somethingish engineer came to Caring Medical in May 2006, with
complaints of left
knee pain
and weakness for one month after kicking a heavy bag in martial arts. He
denied swelling but felt as if his knee was loose with any lateral
motion along with crunching with bending of knee. He could not do any
martial arts training. Upon exam he had tenderness of the
patellar
tendon and
medial collateral ligament.
The exam also revealed some injury to the medial
meniscus.
Routine x-ray showed no abnormalities. He received regular
Prolotherapy monthly for three
visits and was 70% better. He was by now training again but then had a
regression and a stronger solution was used. Because of lack of results
an
MRI
was done which showed a small tear of the inferior surface of the
posterior horn medial meniscus. The patient definitely did not want
surgery so
Human Growth Hormone
was added to the
Prolotherapy solution,
which did aid healing another 20%. He was able to do some light exercise
on the knee but whenever he pushed his knee especially with kicking and
aggressive
running, he would regress. At this point
Prolotherapy was
done with
platelet rich plasma,
specifically into the medial aspect of the knee. He has needed a total
of six PRP treatments but he is happy as at his last appt he reported “I
am able to continue “extreme” martial arts training.”
Why Not Just Give Platelet Rich Plasma
To Every Patient
With
joint instability?
