Video Summary
In the video, a MSK radiologist from Jefferson in Philadelphia discusses a study on the treatment of grade 2 hamstring strains. The study involved collaborating with colleagues from Rothman and focused on finding the most effective treatment for these strains. The researcher explains how PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections are commonly used, but the literature shows mixed results. To enhance the effectiveness of PRP, the researchers combined it with hematoma aspiration, which involves removing the fluid surrounding the sciatic nerve after a strain. The study found that athletes treated with this combined approach had a significantly shorter return to play time and a lower recurrence rate compared to those who received conservative treatment alone.
