How PRP may help
PRP may be considered for chronic patellar tendon pain when load management, therapy, and progressive strengthening have not been enough.
Evidence note
Patellar tendon PRP evidence is mixed. A 2014 randomized trial compared PRP with dry needling, while a later randomized trial compared leukocyte-rich PRP, leukocyte-poor PRP, and saline. Dragoo et al., 2014; Scott et al., 2019
When to schedule
Schedule if tendon pain keeps returning when training resumes or limits jumping, running, or sport.
