PRP shot after ACL tear may curb arthritis risk
NCT ID NCT05412381
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, given soon after an ACL knee injury, can reduce inflammation and improve knee function. About 56 people with a recent ACL tear will receive either PRP or a placebo. The goal is to see if this treatment can lower the chance of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis later on.
