title: [Chronic tendinopathies and platelet-rich plasma].
abstract: Platelets contain growth factors released during their degranulation following activation. These growth factors promote tissue remodeling, wound healing and angiogenesis. Currently, the clinical effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is still discussed, or even controversial. Our researches have assessed the effectiveness of PRP on the healing of animal tendons and human beings suffering from chronic jumper's knee.
