EFFECTIVENESS OF AUTOLOGUS INJECTION PLATELET RICH PLASMA IN MANAGEMENT OF LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS AND TO MEASURE THE OUTCOMES IN A SHORT TERM FOLLOW UP

Introduction: An inflammatory disorder known as lateral epicondylitis develops where the common extensor tendon of forearm originates over epicondyle. It is most prevalent chronic, debilitating, and painful elbow condition. 1 to 3 percent overall population experiences symptoms. Aim And Objectives: assess results a brief follow-up study after single dose autologous platelet-rich plasma injection for treatment epicondylitis. Materials Methods:This prospective about 25 patients includes 17 females 8 males who were diagnosed Platelet rich group was injected with 3-4 ml platelet plasma, using “peppering” technique in clock wise manner better cover affected area Results: All relevant data analysed. The average Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand (DASH) scores pre injection, 4th week, 8th week 12th post Discussion: Currently, (PRP) considered optimal biological component produced from blood. In addition, has high antimicrobial potency this property may prevent infections. Conclusion: Pain decreased functional activities are significantly improved by injection.
