2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Follow-Up of Heterotopic Ossification (HO) After Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Groin Injuries

Follow-Up of Heterotopic Ossification (HO) After Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Groin Injuries

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, a general surgeon, discusses their observations of heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients with core muscle injuries. They conducted a study, focusing on NFL athletes, and found that a high percentage of those with prior platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections developed HO. The study also showed that NFL athletes with HO and prior PRP treatment had a slower recovery compared to those without prior PRP treatment. The speaker notes that this is a limited study but highlights the potential complication of HO with the use of PRP for core muscle injuries. They encourage further research on this topic. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
