First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection given soon after an ACL tear can reduce inflammation and improve knee function, with the goal of lowering the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis later on. About 56 people with a recent ACL injury will receive either a PRP injection or a placebo, and researchers will track their knee health using surveys and physical tests over time. The treatment is not a cure, but aims to control joint damage and improve long-term outcomes.
