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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker presents their observations on an increase in heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients with core muscle injuries who have undergone platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. They conducted a study looking at over 3,600 new patients with suspected core muscle injuries and found that 68 of them developed HO, with 44 of those having prior PRP treatments. In NFL athletes, 22 out of 28 with prior PRP exposure developed HO, while none of those without prior PRP exposure had HO. The study suggests that HO may be a potential complication of PRP for core muscle injuries and may be associated with slower recovery after surgery. This is a limited study and further research is needed. No credits were mentioned in the video.
