Informed Consent Form for Platelet Rich Plasma Injections: Evidence-Based and Legal Guide for Orthopaedic Surgeons

This study developed a legally valid, evidence-based informed consent document specifically for platelet-rich plasma injections, intended to enhance patient rights and communication, and support legal defense in malpractice cases.

This review examines platelet-rich plasma therapy for musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries and reports no firm evidence supporting its routine use due to poor study design and inconsistent results.

This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma shows potential for improving alopecia areata and skin rejuvenation, but more research is needed as evidence primarily supports short-term outcomes in orthopaedic applications.

This study highlights that while platelet-rich plasma is showing promise across multiple medical fields like dentistry and sports medicine, a lack of standardized protocols and robust clinical trials limits its routine clinical application.

This review examines quality control in preparing platelet-rich plasma, highlighting knowledge gaps in its clinical efficacy and safety, but reports no new clinical results.
