First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the hip joint can relieve pain and improve function in people with a torn hip labrum. Thirty adults aged 18 to 49 who had not improved with standard care received the injection. Researchers tracked their pain, hip function, and overall health using surveys over six months.
