The study was conducted to investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin on knee stability, knee muscle strength and knee function in patients with ACL reconstruction. Thirty patients with ACL reconstruction were included to the study and randomly divided into two groups. Patients were assessed preoperative and at the postoperative 1-year.
The study was conducted yo investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on the knee stability and function in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Thirty patients with ACL reconstruction were included to the study and randomly divided into two groups (PRF group and control group). Hamstring tendon autograft was used in all patients for the reconstruction of the teared ACL. A standardized postoperative rehabilitation program was applied to all patients. Patients' knee stability, knee muscle strength and knee function were assessed preoperatively and one-year postoperatively. Knee stability was assessed using KT-2000 Knee Arthrometer. Quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscle strength measurements were conducted with an isokinetic dynamometer at 60Ëš/sec and 180Ëš/sec angular velocities. One Leg Hop (OLH) and Y-Balance tests, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) were used to evaluate the knee function.
