Effectiveness of Hematoma Aspiration and Platelet-Rich Plasma Muscle Injections for the Treatment of Hamstring Strains in Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a MSK radiologist specializing in ultrasound-guided procedures discusses a study on the best treatment for grade 2 hamstring strains. The study was conducted with two colleagues from Rothman, and the main focus was to assess the effectiveness of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. The researchers found that combining PRP with hematoma aspiration resulted in a significantly shorter return to play time and a lower recurrence rate compared to conservative treatment. The study included professional athletes from 2013 to 2018, with the PRP group showing a return to play time of 23.5 days compared to 32.4 days in the conservative treatment group. The recurrence rate was also significantly lower in the PRP group. No financial disclosures were made. Video credits go to the MSK radiologist, Dr. Sogan Morrison, and Steve Cohen from Rothman.
