TLDR Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may help heal diabetic foot ulcers.
The review discusses the potential benefits of using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as an adjuvant treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, which are a significant complication that can lead to limb amputation. PRP therapy, which includes platelet growth factors, supports the wound healing process by promoting inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The review highlights the growing interest in PRP due to its provision of essential growth factors necessary for healing and evaluates various PRP formulations for their effectiveness in managing diabetic ulcers.
