Meniscal Repair Augmented With Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Prospective Comparative Clinical Study
Summary
This prospective, randomized, comparative clinical study will evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of meniscal repair augmented with intraoperative intralesional leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) compared with conventional meniscal repair without biological augmentation. A total of 62 participants aged 18 to 40 years undergoing meniscal repair will be assigned to either the LP-PRP group or the control group. Participants will be followed for 6 months after surgery. Clinical outcomes will include knee function assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire, pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), time to return to usual activities, and adverse events or complications. Assessments will be performed preoperatively and during postoperative follow-up at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
