What are platelet-rich fibrin injections?
Platelet-rich fibrin injections are a type of regenerative medicine therapy that utilizes the body’s natural healing properties to treat joint and soft tissue injuries. PRF is derived from the patient’s blood, which is then centrifuged to separate the plasma, platelets, and white blood cells from the red blood cells. The resulting PRF is a concentrated source of growth factors and proteins that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. PRF injections are used to treat various joint and soft tissue conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and ligament injuries.
