Abstract:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factors have been increasing in popularity for the orthopedic treatment of degenerative and traumatic diseases. The treatment concept is based on the substitution of growth-inducing substances in tissues with low or absent regeneration capacity (cartilage, tendons) as well as for the induction or further acceleration of growth and regeneration (bone, muscle). This review article provides an overview on the clinical feasibility of usage and a summary of the current study situation.

One important factor is the drug's molecular size. The kidneys readily excrete smaller molecules below 300 Daltons (Da). On the other hand, molecules weighing between 300 and 500 Da are excreted through both urine and bile. Larger molecules above 500 Da tend to be excreted...
