Summary

This study tested whether using a patient's own platelet-rich fibrin (a natural blood clot) during ACL knee surgery could reduce numbness and improve feeling around the surgical site. Fifty-three active male athletes were split into two groups: one got the extra treatment, the other standard care. The main goal was to see if more people in the treated group had normal knee sensation one year after surgery.
