To evaluate the influence of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) on the healing process of medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear.
Autologous platelet-rich matrices may aid in the healing of ligaments & tendons by promoting and accelerating tissue healing because of the release of growth factors including transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) from platelet alpha-granules.
